Caltrans today announced it has awarded $63.3 million to fund 111 public transit and air quality projects across California to upgrade transit service and purchase eco-friendly buses. All of the funding comes from Proposition 1B, the 2006 transportation bond, which includes $3.6 billion to improve public transit in California.
“When the voters passed Proposition 1B, they wanted action and action is what they’re getting. Proposition 1B is paying for vital transportation projects all over California,” said Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-Calif.), in a written statement from Caltrans. “Investing in our infrastructure is strengthening our economy and creating jobs when we need them most.”
Some of the more notable projects that were awarded Proposition 1B funding include the following:
Bay Area
San Diego
Sacramento
Central Valley
