Description

California’s pouring $2.7 billion into 150+ transportation projects to slash commute times, boost transit options, and future-proof infrastructure against extreme weather. LA County gets $245 million to upgrade four Olympic-ready stations ahead of the 2028 Games, while the Caldecott Tunnel receives $267 million for safety-critical ventilation upgrades and HOV lane expansions. Smaller but vital investments include $1.8 million for safer school crossings in Bakersfield and wildlife fencing along I-5 to protect animals and drivers. Since 2019, California has invested over $81 billion in transportation, creating more than 800,000 jobs — all aimed at building a smarter, safer, and more connected state for the long haul.
