About STFAC

The STFAC Committee Members

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) as part of STIF (Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund) and the Federal Transit Administration’s Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities - Section 5310. The three-county STF area receives approximately $10–15 million in STF formula, supplemental, and discretionary funds each biennium (every two years). STF funds have played an important role in the expansion of community-based services for seniors and persons with disabilities as well as in the preservation of fixed route and complementary paratransit services.

The STFAC includes a broad representation of users of transportation services and providers including all interested members of the Committee on Accessible Transportation (CAT), as well as representatives from Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington Counties aging and disabilities service agencies, out-of-district transit providers, seniors and persons with disabilities from the three Counties, seniors and persons with disabilities representing out-of-district consumers, Ride Connection, and TriMet.
