combined
 
with
 
the
 
rest

is
 
distributed
 
to
 
the
TEDF,

planning,
 
programming,

of
 
public
 
transportation
 
systems,
 
in

with
 
the
 
policies
 
of
 
the
 
State

Commission. The
 
CTF
 
receives
 
6.975
per
 
cent
 
of
 
the
 
sales
 
tax
 
on
 
motor-vehicle-related
 
items
 
and
 
approximately
 
8.5
 
per
 
cent
 
of
 
net
revenues
 
in
 
MTF. The
 
first
 
priority
 
for
 
use
 
of

monies
 
is

restricted
 
to

Most
 
of
 
the

distributed
 
to
 
local

agencies
 
for
 
operating

grants
 
for
