California receives $2.5 billion for transportation infrastructure
On July 16, 2026, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced nearly $2.5 billion in funding for more than 150 projects to improve state highway systems, advance public transit, and create jobs. The $2.5 billion investment will support local streets and roads, state highways, active transportation, public transit and intercity rail projects, as well as create more than 150,000 jobs.
“California is busy building the transportation network for the future,” said Newsom. “Through repairing aging roads and bridges, creating world-class transit and freight systems, expanding public transit and leading technological innovation, we are ushering in the golden age of transportation. Investments like these drive our economy while creating good-paying jobs across the state.”
