State of Good Repair
Program Overview
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, Senate Bill (SB) 1 (Chapter 5, Statues of 2017), signed by the Governor on April 28, 2017, includes a program that will provide additional revenues for transit infrastructure repair and service improvements. This investment in public transit will be referred to as the State of Good Repair (SGR) Program. This program receives funding of approximately $105 million annually. SGR funds are to be made available for eligible transit maintenance, rehabilitation and capital projects.
SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s transportation programs. Therefore, in order to be eligible for SGR funding, potential agencies must comply with various reporting requirements. The SGR Guidelines will describe the general policies and procedures in carrying out the reporting requirements and other statutory objectives of the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
Written comments and questions can be submitted to the program email account: SB1SGRcomments@dot.ca.gov.

Assembly Bill (AB) 149 Transportation amends AB107, providing transit agencies eligible to receive SGR funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-20 through FY 2022-23, to redirect these funds from projects as originally identified to address funding shortfalls in operating or capital expenses resulting from the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
This redirection of SGR funds requires the transit agency to obtain an approved declaration, board resolution and/or other appropriate document(s), from their respective governing board identifying the fiscal challenges which may cause reduction of service and thereby directing agency staff to pursue the flexibility of redirecting SGR funds as provided in AB 149.
The transit agency shall then provide an electronic copy of the finalized declaration from their respective governing board(s) to both Caltrans and to the transit operator's respective regional entity.
Please note, while AB 149 and AB 107 include provisions that transit agencies having obtained approval to redirect SGR funds are technically exempt from the procedural reporting requirements stated in Senate Bill 1, Caltrans encourages our transit partners to continue reporting on how SGR funds are utilized for FY 2019-20 through FY 2022-23 to ensure that the achievements of the SGR Program are documented and acknowledged.
