	Iowa Office of Public Transit
		Also in 1976, the Iowa General Assembly added to Chapter 601J of the Iowa Code, provisions requiring all public funds spent on transit to be expended in conformance with the state transit plan.
		The Iowa General Assembly also appropriated $2 million for support of public transit in Iowa for the 1977 fiscal year (beginning July 1, 1976.) Annual appropriations continued in subsequent years, though the amount of funding gradually declined as a result of a series of "across-the-board" budget cuts.
		In 1986 the Iowa General Assembly discontinued the annual General Fund appropriations to public transit, and instead appropriated funds from the petroleum overcharge court settlements from Exxon to supplement the use tax funding for transit in FY1987.
