From INSIDE that report you linked to:
"State Base Excise Tax Uses (18 cents)
Two-thirds of this revenue is deposited into the State
Highway Account (SHA), amounting to about $1.7 billion in
2016-17. The SHA funds the Highway Maintenance Program,
State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP),
and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
administration.
One-third is allocated to cities and counties for local streets
and roads, amounting to about $900 million in 2016-17.
State Variable Excise Tax Uses (9.8 Cents)
State Variable Excise Tax Uses (9.8 Cents)
The first roughly $1 billion of this is deposited into the SHA
to backfill the loss of weight fee revenue, as discussed later.
Of the remaining revenue, 44 percent is allocated for local
streets and roads, 44 percent for the State Transportation
Improvement Program, and
State Diesel Excise Tax (16 Cents)
Revenue generated from 6 cents of this tax is allocated to
cities and counties for local streets and roads. The remainder
of the revenue is deposited into the SHA to fund the Highway
Maintenance Program, SHOPP, and Caltrans administration.
State Diesel Base Sales Tax (4.75 Percent)
Half of this revenue is allocated to the State Transit
Assistance (STA) program, which provides funding for local
mass transportation. The other half is used to fund state-
supported intercity rail and other state mass transportation
programs.
State Diesel Swap Sales Tax (1.75 Percent)
All of the revenue from this tax is allocated to the STA."
Please let me know when you find something about property taxes or sales taxes helping to pay for road repairs because the point I was making is that the gas tax does this, not property taxes (and apparently you missed this).
> Are bonds in the list?
What do you think that "etc." stood for? (Hint: "other items not listed here").
