California Transportation Commission Allocates $1 Billion Towards Transportation Projects
Posted in Projects

We noted in our 2010 year-in-review E-Alert that the stimulus dollars were starting to make their way towards local agencies so infrastructure projects could be built.  2011 is now off to a fast start:  according to a recent Caltrans press release, the California Transportation Commission has announced the allocation of $1 billion towards 107 California transportation projects, including $838 million from Proposition 1B bond funds (which was approved by voters in 2006).

Here are some of the highlights as to how these funds will be utilized:

  • $46.55 million to install rail collision avoidance technology along the Metrolink

    system and Pacific Surfliner Intercity Rail Corridor.

  • $2.94 million to install rail collision avoidance technology along the Burlington

    Northern Santa Fe Railroad

    tracks from Los Angles to Fullerton.
  • $20 million to convert high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes to high occupancy toll

    (HOT) lanes along the I-10 and I-110 corridors.

  • $33.99 million for the acquisition of 100 compressed natural gas (CNG) buses by

    the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority.
