Reconstruction includes overlay, sealing, or widening of the roadway to bring the roadway width to the desirable minimum pavement width consistent with accepted design standards for local streets and roads, However, widening of a roadway does not include widening for increasing the traffic capacity of a street or road. Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Requirement: In order to receive Proposition 42 allocations. cities must be in compliance with the MOE provision. The MOE provision requires cities to expend from their general fund, in the budget year in which Proposition 42 monies are allocated, a defined amount of funds for transportation purposes. This amount is equal to or greater than the average transportation expenditures for FY1996-97, FY1997-98 and FY1998-99. To find your city's MOE, visit www.californiacitvfinance.com. At the end of each fiscal year in which a city has received Proposition 42 funding, the city must prove to the State Controller that they have spent the required MOE monies. Any city that tails to do so must reimburse the state for the funds it recovered during that fiscal year. (For specific details on Proposition 42, look up Revenue & Taxation Code Section 7104.)

The budget addressed PTA spillover funds, providing $248 million for local transit operations, $62 million for the STIP and $13 million for the High Speed Rail Authority.
