Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund

Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund (STIF)

With the passage of House Bill 2017, Keep Oregon Moving, the state legislature has committed to both the improvement and enhancement of transportation services through the Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund (“STIF”). For Central Oregon, this means the opportunity to enhance public transportation services to access jobs and community services, improve mobility, and relieve congestion. 

Jefferson County delegated STIF administrative activities to Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) and is creating an advisory committee to help shape the future of public transportation. The goal of STIF advisory committees is to prioritize projects and coordinate both local and regional focused transit projects and services. Advisory committees will meet regularly throughout the year with specific dates and times to be determined.

The January 2021 STIF meeting will be held virtually on January 8 from 2 - 3:30pm. To join the meeting virtually on your computer or smartphone, click the following link:
