(c) Any refund pursuant to the final determination specified in subdivision (d) that is made directly to a county transportation authority created under Division 12 (commencing with Section 130000) of the Public Utilities Code shall be expended in accordance with the requirements of Article 3 (commencing with Section 99230) of Chapter 4 of Part 11 of Division 10 of the Public Utilities Code.
