STATEMENT

 

     This bill appropriates a total of $165,950,000 from the revenues and other funds of the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority (TTFA), of which $100,450,000 is comprised of road and bridge projects, and $65,500,000 is comprised of transit projects. 

     This supplemental appropriation increases the size of the FY 2018 capital program from $2 billion for FY 2018 to $2.166 billion.  The TTFA primarily derives its funds from bonds that it issues and from constitutionally and statutorily dedicated sources of revenue, including the Motor Fuels Tax, Petroleum Products Gross Receipts Tax, and Sales and Use Tax. These dedicated revenues are required to be used for the purposes of paying or financing the cost of the planning, acquisition, engineering, construction, reconstruction, repair and rehabilitation of the transportation system in this State.  It is intended that all of the transportation capital projects included in this supplemental appropriation conform to this requirement.

 

FISCAL IMPACT

     The bill has no direct impact on General Fund appropriations. The bill increases the total appropriation from the revenues and other funds of the TTFA by $165,950,000; however, this increase lies within the $16 billion statutory cap on appropriations from the revenues and other funds of the TTFA from FY 2017-2024, and is therefore, consistent with the existing statutory spending authorization over this period.
