(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the transportation enterprise, a public highway authority created and existing pursuant to part 5 of this article, a regional transportation authority created and existing pursuant to part 6 of this article, or any other entity that, as of March 2, 2009, is imposing a user fee or toll for the privilege of traveling on any highway segment or highway lanes may use revenues generated by the user fee or toll for transit-related projects that relate to the maintenance or supervision of the highway segment or highway lanes on which the user fee or toll is imposed.
(2) The general assembly hereby finds and declares that the funding of transit-related projects authorized by subsection (1) of this section constitutes maintenance and supervision of state highways because it will help to reduce traffic on state highways and thereby reduce wear and tear on state highways and bridges and increase their reliability, safety, and expected useful life.
