TRIP is a nonprofit organization that works on surface transportation issues. Working with the Associated General Contractors of California and the AGC San Diego Chapter, TRIP released a new report, Keeping California Mobile: Providing a Modern, Sustainable Transportation System in the Golden State on September 25.
The report offers a comprehensive look at California’s road and bridge conditions, congestion and reliability, highway safety, travel trends, and economic impacts, while underscoring the significance of recent infrastructure investments, such as the 2017 SB 1 Road Repair and Accountability Act and the 2021 federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
TRIP’s Rocky Moretti presented the findings alongside Senator Dave Cortese, Chair of the California Senate Transportation Committee; Assemblymember Lori Wilson, Chair of the California State Assembly Transportation Committee; and Commissioner Joseph Cruz of the California Transportation Commission.
For contractors, the report highlights both the progress made with new investments and the challenges the state faces in accommodating future growth while sustaining adequate funding as vehicle fuel efficiency increases and electric vehicle adoption expands.
