SACRAMENTO – The California Transportation Commission (CTC) today allocated $3.5 billion in funding to strengthen road resiliency, increase pedestrian and bicycle travel and improve highway safety. The funds included nearly $993 million from Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 and $944 million from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA).
 
In addition, the CTC separately awarded $1.45 billion for new projects that will receive SB 1 funding over the next two years, through 2027. This includes funding for zero and low-emission transportation and new infrastructure that will strengthen the state’s freight network and better connect marine ports with railyards and freight corridors. The combined nearly $5 billion investment is part of Governor Gavin Newsom’s build more, faster agenda, delivering infrastructure upgrades and creating thousands of jobs across the state.

 

“We’re not just rebuilding transportation – we’re reimagining it. This investment – upwards of $5 billion – is about protecting Californians today and preparing for tomorrow with transit and transportation options that are safer, cleaner, and built to serve the needs of every Californian.”

Gavin Newsom, Governor of California

“Under Governor Gavin Newsom's leadership, these transformative investments represent a bold step towards a future where our transportation system is safer, more efficient and a driving force for economic prosperity," said California Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin. "By tackling congestion and enhancing connectivity, we are creating a brighter, more sustainable California for all.”

Toks Omishakin, California Transportation Secretary 

“The Commission is pleased to partner with Caltrans to continue investing in California’s world-class transportation system. The investments we are making today will improve safety, ease congestion, and reduce out-of-pocket costs for everyone in California.

  • $9 million in SB 1 funding for a project on State Route 39 (SR-39; Beach Boulevard) in Huntington Beach and Westminster to rehabilitate pavement using Rubberized Hot Mix Asphalt (RHMA). This material, made of recycled rubber tires, saves thousands of used tires from piling up in our landfills, and uses lower temperatures than those required to make traditional surfaces, helping to shrink the department’s carbon footprint and reduce the transportation system’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. The improvements will also rehabilitate drainage systems, and upgrade curb ramps, crosswalks and lighting through the project area.
  • $2.1 million in SB 1 funding for a project on Beach Boulevard near Ellis Avenue in Huntington Beach. The project addresses damage caused by a sinkhole that formed during a recent storm event due to a failed culvert. A new culvert will be installed and the adjacent sidewalk will be repaired.
