A variety of local, state and federal funds will be required to build and operate new transit improvements identified in the DNA Corridor. For construction funds, local sources will include developer fees, right-of-way dedication, and sales tax revenues, while at the state level funding could be provided through the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). At the federal level, RT could obtain funds through FTA’s New Starts Program, which is designed to provide capital grants for new fixed guideway projects. The New Starts Program could potentially provide 50 percent of the funds needed to build a fixed guideway system in the corridor, with the remaining funds provided by local and state sources.
RT is planning to design and build the first segment of the Green Line to the River District project, which runs from downtown Sacramento to Richards Boulevard along 7th Street, without federal funds.
