SACRAMENTO — The California Transportation Commission (CTC) today allocated $1.1 billion for projects that will repair and improve the state’s transportation infrastructure. The funding includes more than $300 million for projects across California that will make the system more climate resilient while investing in bike and pedestrian pathways and increasing natural disaster preparedness.
Fifteen projects, totaling $309 million, are funded through the Local Transportation Climate Adaptation Program (LTCAP), which is part of Governor Gavin Newsom’s historic $15 billion clean transportation infrastructure package in the 2022-23 state budget to further the state’s ambitious climate goals. The funding will help climate-vulnerable and disadvantaged communities.
“California is making historic transportation investments and building a climate-resilient system to connect every community in a safe and reliable way,” said Caltrans Director Tony Tavares. “The funding will maintain and repair our roads while investing in public transit, bike and pedestrian pathways, and climate-adaptation projects.”
The $1.1 billion allocation approved today includes nearly $497 million from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA) and more than $132 million via Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
Projects the CTC approved include several in District 4 (Bay Area):
Alameda County
- $4.8 million allocated in the area near Livermore, east of Stonecut Underpass. The project will restore an eroded embankment slope, rebuild a broken section of an asphalt-lined ditch, and install erosion control measures.
- $3.7 million allocated in Berkeley, along Gilman Street, from Fourth Street, west of the West Frontage Road. The project will construct a double roundabout and roadway access.
- $3.4 million allocated in Fremont, at the southbound off-ramp to Scott Creek Road and on State Route 238. The project will upgrade facilities to ADA standards, improve sidewalks, and rehabilitate drainage systems.
- $600,000 allocated in Fremont, from Central Avenue to south of Thornton Avenue. The project will repair a slope embankment slip-out, install Rock Slope Protection, and restore a pump station and drainage systems.
Marin County
- $5 million allocated near Novato, at the Petaluma Creek Bridge. The project will reconstruct a damaged fender system following a tugboat and barge collision.
Napa County
- $1.7 million allocated near Calistoga, at No Name Creek Bridge. The project involves bridge preventative maintenance and scour mitigation.
Santa Clara County
- $900,000 allocated in San Jose, at Hostetter Undercrossing and Capitol Avenue Undercrossing. The project will repair an uneven road surface, replace approach slabs, and repair pavement.
San Mateo
- $4.1 million allocated near Pacifica, from south of 2nd Street to south of Tom Lantos Tunnel. The project will improve safety by installing new standard safety barriers and upgrading existing guardrails.
- $300,000 allocated in and near Pacifica, from 14th Street to Linda Mar Boulevard. The project involves plant establishment mitigation for project.
Sonoma County
- $2.9 million allocated near Petaluma, north of Kastania Road. The project will stabilize a slope and install rock slope protection and drainage system.
- $2.7 million allocated near Schellville, at various bridges. The project involves bridge rail replacement and upgrades.
- $2.3 million allocated near Sebastopol, at various bridges. The project will upgrade bridge rails.
- $1.7 million allocated near Fort Ross. The project will stabilize a slope with micro piles and grout injection.
- $700,000 allocated in and near Sonoma, at Sonoma Creek Bridge and Hooker Creek Bridge. The project is a mitigation effort for plant establishment and erosion control.
The LTCAP provides $400.5 million over five years, with $148 million in state funding and $252.5 million from the federal Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-Saving Transportation (PROTECT) Formula Program established in the IIJA.
The IIJA, also known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,” is a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation's infrastructure to improve the sustainability and resiliency of our energy, water, broadband and transportation systems. Since 2021, California has received more than $32 billion in IIJA funds, including more than $24 billion for transportation-related projects.
In addition, SB 1 provides $5 billion in transportation funding annually that is shared about equally between the state and local agencies. Road projects progress through construction phases more quickly based on the availability of SB 1 funds, including projects that are partially funded by SB 1.
