The Safe, Sustainable, Traffic-Reducing Transportation Bond Act of 2026.
- Authorizes a $20 billion transportation bond measure for voter approval in November 2026.
- Allocates $6 billion for transit improvements and $4 billion for passenger rail enhancements.
- Provides $3 billion for zero-emission vehicle investments including electric and hydrogen vehicles.
- Designates $3.5 billion for local street maintenance and active transportation projects.
Assembly Member Schultz proposes a $20 billion transportation bond measure that would fund transit improvements, zero-emission vehicles, and critical infrastructure projects across California. The Safe, Sustainable, Traffic-Reducing Transportation Bond Act of 2026 would allocate funds through six major investment categories if approved by voters in November 2026.
The measure designates $6 billion for transit capital improvements and $4 billion for passenger rail systems, including intercity, regional, and commuter services. Local transportation would receive $3.5 billion for street maintenance, safety upgrades, and active transportation projects. The proposal earmarks $3 billion for zero-emission vehicle investments covering both battery electric and hydrogen technology vehicles. An additional $2.5 billion would support freight infrastructure at airports, borders, ports, rail yards, and trucking facilities. The remaining $1 billion would fund grade separations and safety improvements.
A newly created finance committee, comprising the State Controller, Treasurer, Director of Finance, and Transportation Secretary, would oversee bond issuance. The measure establishes the Safe, Sustainable, Traffic-Reducing Transportation Fund to hold and distribute bond proceeds. This builds upon California's 2006 transportation bond act, which authorized $19.9 billion for similar purposes including corridor improvements, transit projects, and safety upgrades.
