STIP projects are capital projects needed to improve transportation. Typical STIP-funded projects include state highway and local road improvements, public transit, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, grade separations, transportation system management, transportation demand management, sound walls, intermodal facilities, safety, and environmental enhancement and mitigation.
A broad variety of transportation projects and modes are eligible for RSTP funds, including: highway projects, bridge projects, transit capital improvements, carpool, parking, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, safety improvements, research, traffic management systems, surface transportation planning, transportation enhancements, and environmental mitigation.
Eligible CMAQ projects include public transit improvements, high-occupancy vehicle lanes, Intelligent Transportation Systems infrastructure, traffic management and traveler information systems, employer-based transportation management plans and incentives, traffic flow improvement programs, shared ride services, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
TE projects must be over and above required mitigation and normal transportation projects, and the project bust be directly related to the survace transportation system. The projects should have a quality of life benefit while providing the greatest benefit to the greatest number of people. TE funds are intended to provide a means to creatively and sensitively integrate transportation facilities into their surrounding environment. The objective is to create a transportation experience that is more than merely adequate.
Local Transportation Funds (LTF) and State Transit Assistance funds comprise the TDA. The primary focus of TDA funds is to operate transit systems. LTF is funded from a quarter cent of sales tax collected within the County.
