Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds are a combination of Local Transportation Funds (LTF) and State Transit Assistance (STA) funding.  LTF is derived from a quarter cent of the general sales tax and is explained in more detail in a the LTF fact sheet.  STA funds  come from the statewide sales tax on diesel fuel.  SRTA is the designated recipient and responsible administrator of TDA funds. Because the TDA components are based on sales tax, revenues vary from year-to-year depending on the economy.
