Gov. Warner announced today that the budget he’ll submit tomorrow will include $625 million in general funds for transportation.
$339 million will go to one-time project funding–completing federal earmarked projects, matching new federal earmarks, and Port of Virginia improvements.
$229 million will go to previously approved transportation bonds.
$57 million will go to public transportation capital projects.
Is it ok to use general funds for tranportation? A lot of folks seemed to think that was a terrible idea during the gubernatorial campaign.
