CalSTA: Nearly $2B for Public Transit
California Governor Gavin Newsom on July 8 announced the approval of more than $1.9 billion to support public transportation agencies. The funding, which was approved by the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) is the first wave of funding from the transit recovery package in the 2023-24 state budget, which the state had promised to deliver by April 30 but that had “suddenly been delayed by the administration on May 1,” according to a Streetsblog California report.
