The California Transportation Commission has approved nearly $1 billion for transportation projects across the state, including transit upgrades, highway safety improvements and new infrastructure.
The $988.7 million allocation includes $184 million from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and $336 million from Senate Bill 1, the state’s primary transportation funding source.
According to the commission, $96 million will go toward improving travel times and traffic safety between Ventura County and Goleta through new high-occupancy vehicle lanes, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and transit enhancements.

Several transit agencies will also receive funding. Los Angeles will receive $60 million to rehabilitate Union Station. Glendale will receive $17 million for 20 electric buses, and Sacramento Regional Transit will receive $21 million for eight new light rail vehicles.
