# STA - 10/8/26

The Sacramento Transportation Authority’s regular meeting on October 8, 2026, focused on transportation grant applications and debt reporting. The board unanimously authorized the executive director to submit the authority’s remaining SB 1 Solutions for Congested Corridors nominations and any agreements needed for the applications; no additional Measure A funding was requested. The presentation described roughly $2 billion available across three SB 1 competitive programs every two years, including $550 million for Solutions for Congested Corridors. The U.S. 50 Multimodal Core Connections nomination seeks $65.7 million for five construction projects, with STA and SACOG as co-applicants and implementing agencies receiving the funds. Placer Gateway Phase 4 was also identified among the projects being advanced. These are grant nominations, not awards. Earlier board actions had addressed other anticipated SB 1 submissions, including a $25 million request tied to the Grant Line Road Safety Improvements project and a $20 million design-funding request for an HOV toll lane project; no further action on those was requested at this meeting.

The board also received and filed its annual debt-program presentation, with no authorization or other action required. STA reported $301.76 million in outstanding principal, all at fixed rates, and annual debt service ranging from about $20 million to a projected maximum of about $35 million. The executive director additionally reported approximately $46.2 million available in SACOG System Preservation funding and said Measure A transportation award applications would return to the board in November. No vendor selection, contract award, or procurement bid approval was identified.
