State Funding Programs

In addition to the federal programs that NYSDOT provides matching funding for, there are also NYSDOT-funded programs for Capital Projects and Operating Assistance.

• The State Dedicated Fund (SDF) provides funds for capital projects. These are dedicated to improvements of the systems and providing funds for innovative capital projects.
• The State Operating Assistance (STOA) funding provides operating monies to transit agencies and authorities based on vehicle miles and passenger revenue service.
