In 1971, TDA legislation was passed to provide funding to counties for transit and non-transit related purposes. This legislation improves existing public transportation services through a regional transportation plan. The TDA has two major funding sources, the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and the State Transit Assistance Fund (STAF). The LTF is derived from a 1/4-cent general sales tax and the STAF is derived from sales tax on diesel fuel. Some counties can use LTF for local streets and roads projects if all transit needs are met. The STAF may not be used to fund administration, streets, or roads projects.
