The State Transit Assistance Account (STA) and the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) are formula funded programs that can fund both transit capital and transit system operations.[11] The STA is notable in that it has not been a dependable source of revenue during state fiscal crises as it has been redirected to fill gaps in the state’s general fund; however, much more stability is expected in this fund in the coming years.[12] These are two critical sources that can be used for operations funding to ensure frequent and efficient transit service. They can also be used to fund bicycle and pedestrian projects.
