Starting in fiscal year 2028, this bill requires the State Tax Commission to deposit a portion of new sales tax growth — specifically, up to 10% of any annual increase in General Fund sales tax revenue above a fiscal year 2026 baseline — into the Transit Transportation Investment Fund, which supports public transit projects across Utah.
