Transportation Development Act Fund Administration - 1685

To administer the allocation of monies from the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and State Transit Assistance Fund (STAF) to member entities.

Monies from the LTF and STAF help finance transit services and transportation projects in Merced County. MCAG is the designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) responsible for administration of the Transportation Development Act (TDA) in Merced County. The MCAG Governing Board determines the transit services needs and an annual finding whether or not there are any "Unmet Transit Needs" in the County. MCAG's unmet transit needs process requires a Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC) which meets at least quarterly. All SSTAC meetings are advertised and serve as public hearings upon which the SSTAC bases its unmet transit needs finding and recommendation to the MCAG Governing Board.
