What is the STIF?
The Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund (STIF) was created in 2017 to be a transformative investment in public transit with a dedicated source of funds for new services, capital, equipment, technology, and infrastructure. The primary source of funds in STIF come from a 0.1% statewide employee-paid payroll tax. Including all formula funds, about $614 million has been distributed for services and equipment to improve access and safety, reduce carbon emissions and travel middles, and leverage 25-cents for every dollar spent in local and federal funds since 2019.
