TIF Annual Report (FY 2023-24)

A. A brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund: 

New development in the unincorporated Sacramento County, and cities within Sacramento County, will increase the demand for Sacramento Regional Transit’s (SacRT) transit services and the need for improvements to the regional transit system. To accommodate new development, SacRT will need to increase frequency on some current transit (bus and light rail) routes, extend transit routes and add new transit routes.

The expanded transit service will require additional buses and light rail vehicles. The increased transit fleet will require additional maintenance facilities and equipment. Thus, new development will need to contribute to specific new transit infrastructure and equipment, through a Transit Impact Fee (TIF). The SCTDF/TIF Program assumes that the cost of this new transit infrastructure will be partially funded by growth in unincorporated areas of Sacramento County, based on an assessment of its usage of expanded transit services versus the usage from growth in cities in Sacramento County.

SCTDF and TIF Fees are calculated by fee district and differentiated by type of development in relationship to their relative impacts on the transportation system.
