FUNDING SOURCES FOR THE SEISMIC PROGRAM
Upon California voters passing the Seismic Retrofit Bond Act of 1996, the Legislature began appropriating funds for the seismic program from a variety of sources. In 2005 the Legislature required that toll revenues—which account for about two-thirds of total revenues in the seismic program—cover any excess costs associated with the east span of the Bay Bridge. The table below lists the sources of these funds.

| Assembly Bill 144 (2005) | 2,150 | |

* Assembly Bill 1175 appropriated funding for the retrofit of the Antioch and Dumbarton bridges from savings in other parts of the seismic program and authorized the Toll Authority to raise tolls to pay for the retrofit's completion. The Oversight Committee appropriated $750 million from toll revenues, and the Toll Authority increased tolls by $1 in 2010.
