LCTOP Low Carbon Transit Operations Program
The Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) is one of several programs that are part of the Transit, Affordable Housing, and Sustainable Communities Program established by the California Legislature in 2014 by Senate Bill 862.
The LCTOP was created to provide operating and capital assistance for transit agencies to reduce greenhouse gas emission and improve mobility, with a priority on serving disadvantaged communities. Approved projects in LCTOP will support new or expanded bus or rail services, expand intermodal transit facilities, and may include equipment acquisition, fueling, maintenance and other costs to operate those services or facilities, with each project reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
SGR State of Good Repair
The State of Good Repair (SGR) Program is a noncompetitive, formula-based program included under Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. Funds are deposited into the State Transit Assistance (STA) account and then distributed to regional transportation agencies using the STA Program formula, with half of the SGR funds being allocated according to population and half of the SGR funds allocated according to transit operator revenues.
The goal of the SGR Program is to provide funding for capital assistance in rehabilitating, modernizing, and maintaining California’s existing local transit systems in a state of good repair. These investments will result in transit vehicle fleets that are more reliable and safe and emit less greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Example projects include replacement of Burney Express Service vehicles and the purchase of low-emission vehicles to improve regional transit services.
