The state government allocates transit funding to municipalities under the State Operating Assistance program, which receives dedicated funding through such things as the petroleum business tax or state car registration fees. Alas, that funding has lagged; in the last budget cycle, advocates sought a 15-percent hike, but got just a 3.4-percent increase, bringing total State Operating Assistance funding to $344 million for upstate transit.
