The Senate version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2003-2004 Transportation budget. (Note: Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposed budget for this department is Senate Bill 315 .) This appropriates $3.155 billion in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $3.125 billion, which was the FY 2002-2003 amount enrolled in 2002, excluding any supplemental appropriations, line-item vetoes, or later cuts. Most of this revenue comes from either state fuel taxes, license fees, or federal transfers. Among other changes, the Senate budget contains funding that could lead to the reinstatement of 34 road expansion projects that Gov. Jennifer Granholm had postponed as part of her “Fix it First” program, which places a higher priority on repairing existing roads.

To eliminate an increase in the annual subsidy to Amtrak which will bring the total from $5.7 million to $7.1 million.
The House-version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2003-2004 (Note: Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposed budget for this department is Senate Bill 315 .) This appropriates $3.136 billion in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $3.125 billion, which was the FY 2002-2003 amount enrolled in 2002, excluding any supplemental appropriations, line-item vetoes, or later cuts. Most of this revenue comes from either state fuel taxes, license fees, or federal transfers. Among other items, the budget reflects a compromise on 17 of 34 road expansion projects that Gov. Jennifer Granholm had postponed as part of her “Fix it First” program, which places a higher priority on repairing existing roads. It also includes $200,000 in start up money for the Detroit Area Regional Transit Authority (DARTA). Spending levels for public transportation are those originally proposed by the governor, rather than the much lower levels passed by the Senate. A subsidy to Amtrak will increase from $5.7 million to $7.1 million. Much more information on Michigan’s budget is available at Hot Topics: Michigan’s Budget Challenge at www.mackinac.org/4964.
