Today the House released its 2011-13 transportation budget proposal. It would appropriate $8.924 billion for transportation operations and capital needs.  That’s $1.8 million more than the governor proposed spending.

Of note, from the summary:

Transportation revenue sources have continued to grow more slowly than expected, with projected revenues for the 2011-13  biennium $100 million less than what was assumed a year ago (a roughly 2 percent decrease).
