I guess it depends on the state, but a lot of states cannot use


general taxes for transportation. There's specific taxes set aside for that be it gasoline tax, hotel tax, etc. Typically the general fund, ie sales tax prop tax, etc do not go into transportation funding. That's why there's a huge huge problem with financing all the transportation project this country needs - because you simply can't say "OK, next year 75% of taxes will go to transportation" It's more like, "Governor, next year we project $60M in transportation tax revenue from x sources, - what can we do with that." The problem most states face is that revenue is either static or shrinking, but demand and cost are increasing. It's a very big problem.
