CTC allocates nearly $1 billion for transit expansion
On Feb. 3, 2026, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) allocated nearly $1 billion to expand transit capabilities, add new highway safety features and boost the state’s continued climate action goals. The funding includes $184 million from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA) and $336 million in support from Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. These investments have helped Californians, businesses and visitors who rely on the state’s transportation network for employment and educational opportunities, access to goods and services and connection to recreational attractions.
“Creating a brighter future in the Golden State is about addressing big challenges with meaningful investments like those made today,” said California Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin. “This level of support funds wide-ranging transportation upgrades that provide the backbone of California’s vibrant economy by improving goods movement, expanding transit and rail systems and making our system more bikeable and walkable. These benefits will be experienced by every region, including disadvantaged communities throughout the state.”
