The moneys in the public mass transportation trust fund accumulated by the city beyond the end of the city's fiscal year in which such funds were collected, and not needed by the city to meet its contractual obligations to an interstate transportation authority or for motor pool operations, may be appropriated and paid directly to such interstate transportation authority to be used by the interstate transportation authority for its general purposes in providing a public mass transportation system within an interstate transportation district, or the city may appropriate and expend such excess funds for the purposes set forth in Section 30(a)(2), of Article IV, of the Constitution of Missouri, as amended.  3. A city may designate by contract from time to time with an interstate transportation authority to provide specific services, frequency of service, to underwrite a certain fare structure or for any purpose consistent with providing a sound public mass transportation system to serve the city, and the city shall appropriate and pay directly to the interstate transportation authority from the public mass transportation trust fund the amounts of money that the city finds is sufficient to enable the interstate transportation authority to perform its contractual obligations to the city, including intracommunity transit services, or a city may appropriate and pay all of the funds on deposit in a public mass transportation trust fund directly to an interstate transportation authority to be used by such interstate transportation authority for its general purposes in providing a public mass transportation system within an interstate transportation district.  4. Any provisions of sections 92.400 to 92.421 to the contrary notwithstanding, seven and one-half percent of the proceeds of any sales tax imposed under sections 92.400 to 92.421 that are appropriated and paid by a city to an interstate transportation authority shall be used only by the city and the interstate transportation authority for the purchase of new equipment, for the construction of public mass transportation facilities or for any other capital expenditures or improvements to the property of the interstate transportation authority, or to pay the interest or principal payments or to satisfy sinking fund requirements on any negotiable notes or bonds or other instruments in writing issued by the interstate transportation authority for any of the above purposes.  5. Ninety-two and one-half percent of the proceeds of any sales tax imposed under sections 92.400 to 92.421 that are appropriated and paid by a city to an interstate transportation authority shall be used to supply funds to be applied to the expenses of the organization and costs of operation of the public mass transportation system and the facilities thereof, and may be used to supply additional funds for capital expenditures as set forth in subsection 4 of this section.  6. Transportation authorities operating a public mass transportation system under sections 92.400 to 92.421 may provide for interior and exterior advertising on each vehicle for mass transportation purposes.  7.
