The California Transportation Commission has allocated $988.7 million for highway safety improvements, transit upgrades, and active transportation projects statewide.The funding supports highway corridor improvements, transit vehicle procurement, station rehabilitation, bridge construction, and pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure across multiple regions.
The allocation includes $184 million from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and $336 million from California’s Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. State and federal transportation funds provide the remaining balance. The funded projects span multiple Caltrans districts, including Northern California, the Central Valley, the Central Coast, Los Angeles County, and Orange County.
In Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, the commission approved $96 million for high-occupancy vehicle lanes, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and transit enhancements between Ventura County and Goleta.
In San Bernardino County, $73 million will improve freight operations and safety along Interstate 10. Riverside County will receive $63 million to construct a new bridge, add bicycle lanes, and build a wildlife crossing as part of the Ramona Expressway upgrade.
