Daylighting Public Funding Streams to Increase Equitable Access to Public Transit Across California

Project Description

California is a large state with a complex and fragmented governmental structure, as well as an intricate transportation funding system. Local funding, in the form of Local Option Sales Taxes (LOSTs), has become increasingly popular over the last several decades. While these allow local jurisdictions to raise additional revenues and decide which project to fund, the uniqueness and the sheer number of these measures make it difficult to understand California’s transportation finance system as a whole.
