Abstract
Since passing California’s Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, also known as Senate Bill 1 (SB1), Caltrans and the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) have launched thousands of infrastructure projects across the state. Over the next decade, the state will invest $54 billion to achieve safety improvements, reduce traffic delays, improve goods movement, and increase options for transit. These projects are a welcome improvement to California’s infrastructure, and critical to maintaining mobility across the state. As California spends the most money in its history to improve transportation infrastructure, these expenditures must align with statewide goals and targets, especially in support of the state’s efforts to advance social equity and mitigate the effects of climate change.
