Education, healthcare, and public employees are almost always the largest expenses. For instance, in CA, only about $100M a year out of the $100 billion a year budget is spent on transportation [1]. Because of prop 98 in CA, a minimum of 40% of the budget has to go to education [2]. In NY, it's only 4% spent on transportation [3].
