12 Rider Example 44. Proposition 1 Appropriations. Amounts appropriated above in Strategy I.1.1, Proposition 1, 2014, from State Highway Fund No Proposition 1, 2014, reflect estimated revenue transfers to the State Highway Fund pursuant to Article III, Section 49-g(c-1) of the Texas Constitution (estimated to be $1,216,274,000 in fiscal year 2016 and $1,197,393,000 in fiscal year 2017) to be used for constructing, maintaining, and acquiring rights-of-way for non-tolled public roadways. The funds appropriated above in Strategy I.1.1, Proposition 1, 2014, shall be allocated for the following purposes: a. 45 percent for mobility and added capacity projects in urban areas to decrease congestion and increase the safe and efficient movement of traffic (estimated to be $547,323,300 for fiscal year 2016 and $538,826,850 for fiscal year 2017); b. 25 percent for projects that improve regional connectivity along strategic corridors in rural areas of the state (estimated to be $304,068,500 for fiscal year 2016 and $299,348,250 for fiscal year 2017); c. 20 percent for statewide maintenance and preservation projects (estimated to be $243,254,800 for fiscal year 2016 and $239,478,600 for fiscal year 2017); and d. 10 percent for roadway safety and maintenance projects in areas of the state impacted by increased oil and gas production activity (estimated to be $121,627,400 for fiscal year 2016 and $119,739,300 for fiscal year 2017). 12

13 Timing Issues Prop 1 Due to the uncertainty of oil and gas production revenue along with the need for the legislature to establish the sufficient ESF balance for the next biennium, the continuation of Prop 1 beyond 2017 is still undecided. If tasked with estimating all subsequent years after 2017, it would be approximately $875 million (using a 10-year average). Prop 7 The transfer to the SHF for the state s general sales and use tax and the motor vehicle sales and rental tax may decrease if the taxes do not exceed established sales tax revenue levels or the legislature passes a resolution directing the comptroller to reduce the transfer amount, up to 50 percent 13
