Lane Transit District and Lane Council of Governments have now closed the STIF Formula Fund application process in Lane County for the 2026-2027 biennium covering the period from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027.
Applications for STIF Formula Funds for the 2026-2027 biennium were due October 18, 2024. Applicants were invited to give a brief presentation on each of their projects at the November 4, 2024 STIF Advisory Committee meeting.
The STIF Advisory Committee will meet in November and December 2024 to make review potential STIF-funded projects and create a prioritized list of projects for Lane County.
Who is eligible for STIF Formula Funds?
Sub-recipients are eligible to receive STIF Formula funding through their Qualified Entity* by submitting project proposals for consideration by the Qualified Entity’s STIF Advisory Committee. Sub-recipients may be Public Transportation Service Providers, which are defined in the STIF Administrative rules to include cities, counties, special districts, intergovernmental entities, or any other political subdivision or municipal or public corporation that provides public transportation services.
It is not required that an entity be a Public Transportation Service Provider, as defined by administrative rule, to be eligible to receive STIF Formula funding as a sub-recipient. Other potential sub-recipients include but are not limited to nonprofits, private for-profits, or public entities.
*A Qualified Entity means one of the following: 1) a county in which no part of a Mass Transit District or Transportation District exists, 2) a Mass Transit District, 3) a Transportation District, or 4) an Indian Tribe. Lane Transit District (LTD) is the Mass Transit District in Lane County and therefore serves as the Qualified Entity for Lane County. As the Qualified Entity, LTD’s “Area of Responsibility” includes all of Lane County. Lane Council of Governments supports LTD as the Qualified Entity for Lane County.
