SACRAMENTO - Today, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the California Transportation Commission (CTC) approved $1.1 billion to fund new zero-emission buses, charging stations, and related infrastructure, as well as investments to restore aging bridges, improve highway safety, and increase mobility on local streets. Guided by the Governor's Build More, Faster - For All infrastructure agenda, these improvements will make California communities safer and more climate resilient.

"Donald Trump is asleep at the wheel on America's infrastructure. Meanwhile, California is moving forward. We are investing in zero-emission transit, safer roads, and resilient infrastructure. That's what Build More, Faster is all about: good-paying jobs and investments in our communities while delivering on our world-leading climate goals. Californians won't wait for Washington to get its act together. We're moving forward."

Governor Gavin Newsom

Building California's future
Among today's approved investments is $53 million to purchase 12 clean energy locomotives to replace older diesel engines across Southern California's Metrolink system. Approximately $57 million will be spent to repair a section of State Route 1 near Lucia damaged by slides in last winter's storms, and $9.5 million will help build a mobility center in Santa Maria that will serve as a hub for regional, clean-energy buses.

"Today's investments show what it looks like when California chooses to lead with both urgency and intention. By expanding zero-emission options and strengthening infrastructure in every corner of the state, we are delivering on Governor Newsom's vision to build a modern, sustainable transportation system for all."

California Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin

"The significant investments made today and throughout the year support Caltrans' ongoing response to the effects of climate conditions on key assets, increased demand on the transportation system, and our continued efforts to enhance mobility for all users."

Caltrans Director Dina El-Tawansy

"We are pleased to partner with Caltrans to enhance the economic competitiveness of our state and make commuting more affordable, while protecting our environment."
