The California Transportation Commission approved $1.1 billion for transportation projects focused on zero-emission transit, highway repair, bridge replacement, and local mobility improvements across the state.
The funding supports the purchase of zero-emission buses, charging infrastructure, rail equipment upgrades, and roadway rehabilitation. Key allocations include $53 million for 12 clean-energy locomotives for Southern California’s Metrolink commuter rail system, $57 million to repair a landslide-damaged section of State Route 1 near Lucia, and $9.5 million to construct a regional mobility center in Santa Maria to support clean-energy bus services.
Additional projects include $15 million to replace the Seventh Street Bridge in Modesto, $13 million to restore fire-damaged segments of State Route 38 in San Bernardino County, and $839,000 for bike lane and sidewalk improvements in Orange Cove, Fresno County.
Funding includes $463 million from Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, and $190 million from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The remaining funds come from state transportation programs administered by the California Transportation Commission and Caltrans. Project schedules vary, with construction starting as funding agreements are executed and continuing through multi-year delivery timelines.
