Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced the California Transportation Commission (CTC) has allocated nearly $900 million to advance mass transit systems, expand pedestrian and bicycle options and improve freight movement.
The commission also approved plans for new investments in California’s transportation infrastructure in the coming years. The CTC approved the 2026 State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP), which invests $17.9 billion during the next four years in the state highway system for new safety features, more access for bicyclists and pedestrians and repairs of pavement and bridges.
This announcement includes investments funded by two proven, bipartisan sources. The funding includes $47 million from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA) and $405 million from California Senate Bill (SB 1), also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
California has received an annual investment of approximately $16.7
