Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund (STIF)

Overview

Oregon House Bill 2017 Keep Oregon Moving (HB2017) established a new dedicated source of funding for expanding public transportation service in Oregon that benefits a high percentage of low-income households. Keep Oregon Moving includes a new 0.1% employee payroll tax to fund public transportation. This funding source is called the Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund (STIF). Lane Transit District (LTD) is the Qualified Entity of the funds allocated to Lane County.

STIF may be used for public transportation purposes that support the effective planning, deployment, operation, and administration of public transportation programs including, but not limited to, the following:

• Creation of new systems and services with origins, destinations or stops in Oregon;
• Maintenance or continuation of systems and services in certain circumstances; and
• Planning for and development of a Local Plan or future STIF Plan to improve public transportation service.
