Yeah, vehicle registrations do go to transportation too but cover only a very very small portion of the revenue. The midwestern and Northeastern state's roads deteriorate MUCH faster then the southern states due to the freeze/thaw cycles which is the number one reason roads fall apart and thus the replacement cycle and O and M costs are much much higher. Thats why the southern states like NC generally have better roads.
