Sacramento Transportation Authority

Sacramento Transportation Authority Sacramento County’s Source For Coordinating & Funding Transportation Projects and Programs.

The STA administers the Sacramento County Measure A Transportation Sales Tax Program & manages the SacMetro Freeway Service Patrol program. What We Do

The STA is primarily responsible for administering the Measure A program: the half-percent sales tax for transportation improvements in Sacramento County. The STA also administers the Sacramento Metropolitan Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program in

cooperation with Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol. The program's primary objective is to reduce the traffic congestion caused by roadway incidents. The STA Governing Board and staff also serve as the Governing Board and staff of the Sacramento Abandoned Vehicle Service Authority (SAVSA). SAVSA provides funding to participating local jurisdictions for the abatement of abandoned vehicles and vehicle parts on streets and private property. The STA is the only local countywide transportation agency and, therefore, provides a number of other functions related to setting priorities for the expenditure of specified state and federal transportation funds in Sacramento County.

Public safety. It’s a top priority for STA and SacRT.

The SacRT Safe Routes to Transit Plan is a countywide effort funded by a Caltrans Sustainable Communities grant, with support from STA. This Plan is identifying key safety gaps and making recommended improvements to ensure safer, more convenient access to bus stops and light rail stations.

STA advocates for funding to help implement priority safety improvements and provides Measure A revenues to local agencies to implement safety projects.

What goes into building a transportation budget? More than most people realize.

Behind every table, chart, and project list are months of collaboration, analysis, and coordination with local agencies, project sponsors, and regional partners. The FY 2026–27 Budget reflects the collective effort to ensure transportation investments remain aligned with voter-approved programs, Board direction, and the needs of our communities.

Take a look behind the scenes and learn how STA turns planning into action—and public priorities into funded projects. (Link to full article: https://buff.ly/W14rvJw )
