Transportation Funding Alignment Amendments

Maddy summaryHB 429 adjusts Utah's transportation funding by changing the percentage of sales and use tax allocated to the Transportation Investment Fund of 2005 and removing a transfer from the Transportation Fund to that investment fund. It also eliminates language that would have restored funding for litter and carcass removal by the Department of Transportation. The bill appropriates $330 million in capital project funds for fiscal year 2026, all sourced from the General Fund. These changes directly affect how transportation revenue is managed and distributed across state infrastructure programs.
