Special Transportation Fund Advisory Committee (STFAC) meetings and information

About STFAC

Background

The Special Transportation Fund Advisory Committee (STFAC) is appointed by the TriMet Board of Directors to advise TriMet by making informed recommendations about the distribution of grants funded by the State of Oregon's Special Transportation Fund (STF) and the Federal Transit Administration's New Freedom Program. The tri-county area receives about $8 million a year in grants from the state Special Transportation Fund program. More than one-half of the STFAC is comprised of elders and/or people with disabilities representing geographic diversity in the tri-county area.

The members include the TriMet Committee on Accessible Transportation (CAT); staff representing the County Aging and Disability agencies; TriMet; a small transit systems representative; a rural transit systems representative; Ride Connection, which is a network of 30 service providers delivering transportation for elderly and disabled riders; and consumers who are elderly or disabled representing county urban and rural areas.

The Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) announces the availability of applications for three Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Public Transit Division's (PTD) 2009-2011 elderly and disabled transportation grant programs.

Tri-County Elderly and Disabled Plan

The STFAC also helps develop the Tri-County Elderly and Disabled Transportation Plan (EDTP). The plan set forth the priorities for new elderly and disabled transportation services. The next update of the EDTP will be 2012.

The final EDTP (7.4MB PDF) is now available.
