STA Mitigation Fee + 2% Admin

“The SCTMFP program was approved by voters in November 2004 as part of the Measure A sales tax program extension which began in 2009 and will sunset in 2039. The program was created to generate a uniform transportation mitigation fee on certain new development in Sacramento County as a funding source for road and transit system improvements needed to accommodate projected growth.”

“The expected proceeds of the fee were tentatively allocated as follows: 35% Local streets and roads for capital improvements and rehabilitation / 20% Public transit for capital improvements and rehabilitation / 20% Local interchange upgrades, safety projects, and congestion relief improvements on the local freeway system, including bus and carpool lane projects. / 15% Smart Growth Incentive Program / 10% Transportation Project Environmental Mitigation, including, but not limited to, habitat conservation, open space preservation, habitat replacement, and recreation, and overall environmental enhancement of transportation facilities to the benefit of local transit users and neighborhoods.”

“The Sacramento Countywide Transportation Mitigation Fee Program (SCTMFP) was established to provide a uniform transportation mitigation fee on all new development in Sacramento County that will assist in funding road and transit system improvements as well as smart growth incentives needed to accommodate projected growth and development in the unincorporated portion of Sacramento County and the Cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Isleton, Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento.”

“One component of Measure A was the introduction of a countywide transportation mitigation fee. This was enacted by the STA Board in Section VII of STA Ordinance 04-01. The stated goal was 'to develop and implement a uniform transportation mitigation fee on all new development in Sacramento County that will assist in funding road and transit system improvements needed to accommodate projected growth and development.'”

“SCTMF fees were imposed, and revenues are collected, by local jurisdictions in Sacramento County based on the SCTMF as part of their development approval process. The revenues are then remitted to STA, which then distributes the proceeds to various eligible projects in accordance with direction from the STA Board.”

“Accordingly, the percentage increase or decrease in fees for different types of development varies due to changes in their trip generation rates and the new AB 602-mandated adjustment for floor area. For example, while the rate for the average single-family dwelling (SFD, medium size 1,601-2,400 sq.ft.) would not change, the fee for very small SFD (≤ 800 sq.ft.) would decrease by $486 (31%) and the fee for small SFD (801-1,200 sq.ft.) would decrease by $240 (15%). The fee for medium-small SFD (1,201-1,600 sq.ft.) would increase by $123 (8%) and the fee for large SFD (>2,400 sq.ft.) would increase by $156 (10%).”
