HISTORY
The Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA) was created in
1988 when Sacramento County's electorate approved Measure A.
In passing Measure A, the voters imposed a countywide one-half
percent sales tax to be levied over a 20-year period (1989-2009).
The proceeds of the tax are used to fund a comprehensive program
of roadway and transit improvements. More specifically, Measure
A revenues are earmarked for the following types of improvements:
highway, street, and road construction; highway, street, and
road maintenance; bus and light rail capital and operations;
improved transportation services for elderly and handicapped
persons; and transportation-related air quality programs. The
procedures for expending Measure A funds are set forth in a
Transportation Expenditure Agreement, and eligible Measure A
projects are set forth in the County Transportation Expenditure
Plan (CTEP).
ROLE
The STA is responsible for administering the Measure A program.
This involves managing the sales tax proceeds after they are
collected by the State Board of Equalization. Annually, STA
staff forecasts Measure A revenues for the ensuing fiscal year,
and provides each of the Measure A Entities an estimate of their
revenues. The Measure A Entities are the local jurisdictions
which receive Measure A monies for transportation improvements
within their jurisdictions.
