What staff presented: The annual performance benchmark report compares current measured conditions, ongoing deterioration and planned project deliveries to project future condition projections. For SB1 measures Caltrans reported green status across the primary asset classes (pavement, bridges, culverts and transportation management systems), and said it has already exceeded the SB1 bridge metric that called for repairing an additional 500 bridges over the 10‑year period: Caltrans reported roughly 1,250 additional bridges addressed to date.

Bridge nuance and delivery risk: Caltrans cautioned that the bridge network metric (percent of bridges in poor condition) is different from the SB1 “additional bridges fixed” metric and requires monitoring. Inspectors continue to identify poor bridges during routine inspections; Caltrans said most bridges now classified poor are already programmed and in design or right-of-way phases. The agency stressed that bridge projects have long lead times — often taking a decade — and that coastal environments, railroad coordination and endangered species permitting commonly lengthen schedules.

Pavement and other assets: Caltrans reported positive progress across Pavement Class 1 (interstates), Class 2 (principal state highways) and Class 3 (two‑lane rural highways). For drainage and supplementary assets (pump plants, overhead signs), conditions were steady or improving; many planned investments are in the delivery pipeline.

Risk and next steps: Caltrans emphasized the need to maintain delivery discipline because delays could push accomplishments outside the SB1 report window. The department uses Monte Carlo projections to generate uncertainty bands for forecasts and continues to track pipeline status quarterly. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the definition of ‘‘poor’’ for bridges (Caltrans clarified that the federal ‘‘poor’’ rating is a condition class used nationwide and does not automatically equate to ‘‘unsafe’’) and about long‑term federal funding stability; Caltrans said the primary near‑term risk is project delivery rather than immediate loss of federal bridge funding.

The item was informational; commissioners and staff agreed to continue monitoring delivery schedules and to account for permitting and environmental complexities in risk assessments ahead of the final 2027 SB1 report.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","California Transportation Commission June 2025 Meeting - Day 2","oneSentenceSummary","Caltrans presented the annual SHOP asset-management performance benchmark report showing progress toward SB1 targets across pavement, bridges and drainage, including a long-term improvement in bridge conditions; staff cautioned that bridge delivery timelines and permitting complexity remain the principal risk to meeting 2027 targets.","taxTitle","Transportation Commission, Agencies under Office of the Governor, Executive, California","taxId",70065,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6182174,"CTC adopts interim timely‑use‑of‑funds policy for projects affected by 2024–25 Southern California wildfires",748,2839000,3587000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5107755-44cd2bc015255b798abb761acdfb328d&start=2839&end=3587","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5107755-44cd2bc015255b798abb761acdfb328d/thumbnail_2839000.jpg","/articles/6182174/California/CTC-adopts-interim-timelyuseoffunds-policy-for-projects-affected-by-202425-Southern-California-wildfires","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6182174-99b03dcc3a7d36e10ee496f1e32e5108/orig.mp4?Expires=1771098073&Signature=XWychIOORAFbJ0eBHBsgzVnieteVGfW-Pry~aNthBqjnzUOuNlzl76Pj9VISFNORyOQw54C6nDvnV652~oynxVrBiz2pKmH6EDOVyJog~KTYjGhQd9rrVPWHqfAQgi-8W-hCBj8M2SFzuYoKSLjZyRWCYtqjkD4ZM6on9-xiw7RfPobmdTW2emSS9MrllH5m80Z4fwG5N7lFl3q-QqBSJMEkDfOOvdxhjqrxyJ0SoqntgmNcd2jjBAMFeF~PF6q6eab0ftN-rv7LVowzjfZbIdAOZGecKTp9nsYOiig6WXaDCjXu7r1oQ49O41lQydav0uzDYSrBuu8aSuTi2beC4w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The California Transportation Commission on June 2025 adopted an interim timely use of funds policy to provide relief to projects affected by the 2024–25 Southern California wildfires. The policy applies to projects in San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, Los Angeles and Ventura counties and covers multiple SB1 programs.

What the policy does: The interim policy (Attachment A to the staff item) makes several temporary changes to standard deadlines: it extends the deadline to request an allocation for FY 2024–25 impacted projects to the Commission’s December 2025 meeting; increases the allowable time to award a construction contract from six months to 12 months (retroactive to allocations approved at the January, March, May and June 2025 meetings); and raises the maximum allowable time extension for programmed projects in the Local Partnership Program, Solutions for Congested Corridors Program and the Trade Corridors Enhancement Program to 20 months. For the Active Transportation Program (ATP), the maximum allowable time extension increases to 24 months; staff said the ATP already allows longer pre-construction extensions and funds pre-construction activities, so ATP projects face different cascading delays.

Why it matters: Commission staff said the November–February wildfires caused project delays and constrained agencies’ ability to meet previously adopted timely-use deadlines. The policy is intended to preserve projects that are directly delayed by wildfire impacts and to limit administrative burdens on Caltrans and local implementers. Staff will evaluate the need for the interim policy on a quarterly basis and consider case‑by‑case exceptions beyond the stated allowances.

Commission discussion and next steps: Commissioners praised staff outreach and asked staff to consider whether the policy should be extended to other regions after additional analysis. Commissioners raised the statutory limitation on STIP deadlines and asked staff to coordinate with the legislative team on possible fixes if necessary. Commissioner Eager moved to adopt the interim policy; Commissioner Tiffany seconded. The motion passed.

Scope and qualifying criteria: The policy is limited to projects where implementers demonstrate delays directly attributable to the specified wildfires and to the listed counties where states of emergency were issued; staff said Caltrans and affected stakeholders participated in a May 22 stakeholder workshop during policy development.

Implementation: The interim provisions remain in effect through completion for projects that receive approved extensions under the policy; staff will continue case‑by‑case coordination with Caltrans to process extensions uniformly and consider additional relief when justified.","The commission approved an interim policy extending allocation and contract award deadlines for projects in five counties affected by late‑2024 and early‑2025 wildfires, increasing allowable time extensions for several SB1 programs and promising quarterly review of the policy.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6182179,"California Transportation Commission adopts $195.7 million Local Partnership Competitive Program",2346,256000,2602000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5107755-44cd2bc015255b798abb761acdfb328d&start=256&end=2602","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5107755-44cd2bc015255b798abb761acdfb328d/thumbnail_256000.jpg","/articles/6182179/California/California-Transportation-Commission-adopts-1957-million-Local-Partnership-Competitive-Program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6182179-d920fab93306c4a567909db0d3a4ee0e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771098073&Signature=c~U82zseDqUJift0rLWaFcJk1dx9de26Optz6kgTPctt1wRF5Y~M3X59cwR6FA53M1x6Gj2CJ8wsMDmnD4O5IGkVYqfk7BMla6gvAb0n2FHHcN~MSMFxAUgpWUKDRVKqFwrrcwybvIQ55bNervJ-d30UKNxXCJpi0XIvdr121clStRJxz7t3aRAFoRqFw8VJj6as1d-eUJdJM-Lx-D9KIaRaqbEvMTe-Zn~Bt19xKI3TcXomDPvCfNacp~g8~4LgWRWOt~KJ4mtPQKgTVNKf~1~gxV~9CqZwuaGYo9TZ-nAcFRZZ4~F1ZiYEAzH1BlwTP4fsrHIOiY5-wtmfylffkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The California Transportation Commission on June 2025 approved the 2024 Local Partnership Competitive Program, programming $195,670,000 over two years and recommending $201,655,000 across 11 projects for Commission approval.

Commission staff presented the program and said the commission received 41 project nominations requesting nearly $576,000,000 in program funds, more than double available capacity. Staff said the recommended slate leverages roughly $14,000,000,000 in additional federal, state and local funds and, according to staff estimates, will create 180,000 jobs while advancing transit electrification, complete-streets improvements and freight-rail rehabilitation.

Why it matters: The Local Partnership Program is designed to reward jurisdictions that have voter-approved local transportation revenue and to leverage local matches for state dollars. Commissioners and dozens of public commenters from cities, regional agencies and transit operators described projects that proponents say will improve safety, expand zero-emission transit, and enable transit-oriented development.

Public commenters and project sponsors emphasized regional benefits. Speakers urged support for major projects including the I Street Bridge replacement in Sacramento/West Sacramento, VTA’s BART to Silicon Valley Phase 2, the BART extension’s role in enabling transit-oriented development, a Stream View Drive revitalization project in San Diego, and multiple local multimodal corridor and bridge rehabilitation projects across the state.

Commission discussion praised staff’s outreach, the Interagency Equity Advisory Committee’s role evaluating community engagement, and the Department of Housing and Community Development’s review of land-use and housing connections. Commissioners urged applicants who were not funded to seek debriefs and reapply. Commissioner Carl Guardino moved to adopt the staff recommendation; Commissioner Eager seconded. The motion passed.

What the Commission approved: Staff recommended adoption of the 2024 Local Partnership Competitive Program as presented in Attachment B of the staff recommendations posted June 6, 2025. Staff noted the proposed programming exceeded identified funding capacity by $5,985,000; staff intends to support that shortfall through future redistribution of Local Partnership incentive funds consistent with program guidelines.

Other details: Staff said 10 of the 11 recommended projects are in jurisdictions that already have HCD pro-housing designations; the eleventh has committed to pursue designation. Staff and partners described robust multilingual community engagement used in project evaluation. Several city, county and regional representatives — including representatives of Sacramento, San Jose, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Watsonville/Santa Cruz, Ukiah, Modesto/Stanislaus County and others — spoke in support.

The commission’s action adopts the list of recommended projects and asks staff to proceed with program implementation according to the program guidelines. Staff invited unsuccessful applicants to schedule debriefs to improve future applications.","The California Transportation Commission approved the staff-recommended 2024 Local Partnership Competitive Program, programming about $195.7 million for projects that leverage local, state and federal funding; the competitive cycle drew 41 nominations seeking roughly $576 million.","actionData","errors"]
