"The transportation funding mess has been brought into focus by an extraordinary recent report from the state auditor, who found that both Daviss congestion relief fund and the State Highway Account the chief funding source for road projects created by a mixture of revenues are about to go negative. The California Transportation Commission has already reduced State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) allocations by $3 billion this year in an attempt to plug the gap, meaning that both the governor's pet projects and most of the regular STIP projects are now stalled."
