The California Transportation Commission (CTC) has approved nearly $2.5 billion for more than 150 transportation projects across the state. The investments will improve highways, public transit, rail, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, while strengthening the resilience of transportation assets damaged by extreme weather.
The funding package includes approximately $547 million from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), $736 million from California’s Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), and about $1.1 billion from the State Highway Account, the state’s general fund, and other state and federal programs.
Several major projects received funding under the program. These include $257 million to develop a network of mobility hubs in southwest Los Angeles County, $99 million to replace the Whiskey Creek Bridge on State Route 299 in Shasta County, $64 million to rehabilitate nine miles of Interstate 215 in Riverside County, and $60 million to construct a new interchange on State Route 156 at Castroville Boulevard in Monterey County.
California estimates the investments will support more than 150,000 jobs while improving roadway safety and increasing the resilience of the state’s transportation network.
