CTC reviews $1.3B in TIRCP awards and anticipates Cycle 8 in 2026
Summary
At the December meeting CTC staff reported over $1.3 billion in 2024 Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program awards across 27 projects statewide and highlighted major regional investments; staff said Cycle 8 is expected to be awarded by April 2026.
Commission staff provided an informational update on the 2024 Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) awards, noting more than $1.3 billion in grants for 27 projects statewide and emphasizing investments in regions including the Central Valley, Bay Area, Los Angeles/Orange County and San Diego. The presentation summarized award amounts by region, noted historic program totals (billions invested since program inception), and flagged that Cycle 8 is on track for award by April 2026 with a call for projects expected in mid‑to‑late 2025.
Commissioners praised the geographic spread of awards and asked clarifying questions about specific regional investments. There was no vote because this was an information item. The update included references to how TIRCP funding complements other programs and to recent increases in program funding and federal support. The commission encouraged project sponsors to prepare for the next cycle and for staff to coordinate with partner agencies on evaluation criteria.
