The California Transportation Commission allocated $830 million for a broad range of transportation projects at its Dec. 11 meeting.
“These investments will help provide the next generation of transportation projects in California, strengthening efforts for bridge maintenance and renovation, increasing safety for people who walk and bike, expanding equitable access and continuing support for the movement of goods and services that fuel the state’s economic engine,” Tony Tavares, California Department of Transportation director, said.
Of the $830 million, $306 million is from Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, and $249 million is from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021.
Projects receiving funding include:
The Vincent Thomas Bridge project was allocated $30.4 million to replace the bridge deck and install seismic sensors in Los Angeles near the Port of Long Beach.
The San Diego Association of Governments was allocated $4.3 million for its Orange Family Friendly Street Project to build a traffic circle, high visibility crosswalks, three diverters, and 2.1-miles of buffered bike lanes.
San Francisco County was allocated $1 million for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Muni Metro Modernization Planning Study that will identify infrastructure improvements within the Muni Light Rail Network.
