Development and Master Plan Final TDMP INTRODUCTION The following describes the history and organizational structure of SCTD, the Transit Development and Master Plan (TDMP) purpose and process, related plans and programs, and provides an overview of the public involvement that helped to inform and guide this TDMP. HISTORY OF SCTD Molalla withdrew from the TriMet district on January 1, 1989 and SCTD was formed by the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners in 1989, originally as the Molalla Transportation District. SCTD is classified as a mass transit district and operates under the provisions of ORS 267.010 to 267.394. SCTD is governed by a seven-member board. SCTD ORGANIZATIONAL & FUNDING STRUCTURE The SCTD service district is defined as the region in which services are provided and where employers and self- employed individuals are taxed for SCTD transit services. The service district includes the entirety of the City of Molalla and unincorporated areas and rural communities such as Liberal, Mulino, Carus, Lone Elder, Macksburg, Needy, Hamricks Corner, and Rural Dell. The SCTD tax rate is currently set at 0.5% of wages paid to employees or 0.5% of net earnings from self-employment in excess of $400. This tax rate is separate from Oregon House Bill 2017’s (HB2017) tax withholding of 0.1% of wages earned for residents of Oregon and wages of nonresidents who perform services in Oregon. Figure 1 breaks down the funding resources available to SCTD for the annual operating budget. As shown, approximately 31 percent of the 2019-2020 operating budget is provided by the payroll and self-employment taxes collected

  • 2016 Before-And-After Studies Report to Congress
    Before-and-After Studies of New Starts Projects Report to Congress March 2017 Prepared by: Office of Planning and Environment Federal Transit Administration U.S. Department of Transportation www.transit.dot.gov 2 FOREWORD This eighth annual report to Congress on Before-and-After Studies summarizes the findings for three projects that opened to service in 2011 and 2012, presented in order of their opening date: 1. Mid-Jordan Light Rail Project; Salt Lake City, UT (August 2011) 2. Northshore Connector Light Rail Project; Pittsburgh, PA (March 2012) 3. Streetcar Loop Project; Portland, OR (September 2012) Before-and-After Studies help sponsoring agencies and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to accumulate insights into the actual costs and impacts of major capital transit investments and to evaluate the accuracy of the predictions of the costs and impacts made for these projects. Each Before-and-After Study documents the actual outcomes of a New Starts or Small Starts project in five dimensions: physical scope, capital costs, transit service levels, operating and maintenance costs, and ridership. To support this part of the study, project sponsors collect data on actual conditions before and after implementation of the project. The “before” data collection occurs before any impacts of the project are realized – soon before the project opens to service or, in some cases, before project construction disrupts transit service and ridership in the corridor. The “after” data collection for physical scope and capital costs occurs immediately after project opening. The “after” data collection for changes in transit service, operating and maintenance costs, and ridership occurs two years after the project opens in order to permit conditions to stabilize.
