Such funds shall be deposited into the Transportation Trust Fund and used to advance these projects in accordance with federal laws, guidance, and/or regulations. Upon federal notification and/or approval, the Director, Department of Planning and Budget, shall transfer the appropriation to the managing state agency. From this appropriation of $142,000,000 from the general fund, an amount estimated at $26,100,000 shall be transferred to the Department of Rail and Public Transportation to provide the match for 33 Congressionally-designated rail and transit projects.
