The California Transportation Commission approved more than $2 billion for 56 new projects across the state Thursday, which the commission says will create more than 100,000 jobs over the next several years.
The projects focus on reducing traffic, improving goods movement, increasing transit service, expanding the state’s managed lanes network, and investing in bicycle and pedestrian improvements.
Funding for the projects comes from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, which created three programs – the Solutions for Congested Corridors Program, the Trade Corridor Enhancement Program, and the Local Partnership Competitive Program, and includes three years of funding.
