~ Sacramento, CA - In a recent press release, it was announced that California has received a total of $360 million from the Biden-Harris Administration to support various projects across the state. These projects include habitat restoration, park improvements, and investments in clean transportation.
The federal funding comes as a complement to the historic investments made by the Newsom Administration, all in line with Governor Gavin Newsom's agenda to build more and faster. This marks yet another week of celebrating significant federal investments, with no other administration in history providing such transformative funding for the state.
One of the major allocations is nearly $45 million towards restoring and protecting California's rivers and aquatic habitats. These investments will support multiple projects aimed at improving the health of fish, wildlife, and aquatic ecosystems across the state. This will also contribute to broader conservation and climate resilience efforts not only in California but also in the western United States.
In addition to this, California has received $95 million from the National Park Service (NPS) for neighborhood park improvements. This is the largest grant amount ever received by California through the NPS Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Grants Program. The funding will support 15 park projects across the state, with a focus on enhancing access to parks in underserved communities. These grants align with Governor Newsom's Outdoors for All initiative, which aims to ensure equitable access to parks for all residents.

Furthermore, over $220 million has been allocated for clean transportation projects in California. This includes funds for building a high-speed rail station in Madera and improving safety, freight movement, and travel times along I-680 from SR-24 to SR-242. These projects are made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed by the Biden-Harris Administration.
The Madera High-Speed Rail Station Project will receive over $54 million for a high-speed rail station that will serve as a key component of the upcoming Merced-Bakersfield high-speed rail service. This project will create better transportation options, generate construction jobs, and improve air quality for Central Valley residents.
Additionally, the Contra Costa's INNOVATE 680 Program will receive $166 million to complete the northbound I-680 express lane gap and convert the existing northbound high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane into an express lane. This will help alleviate traffic congestion and improve commute times for residents in the Bay Area.
In other news, the California National Guard's (Cal Guard) Counterdrug Task Force has seized over 5,000 pounds of fentanyl powder and 9.6 million pills containing fentanyl at California's ports of entry since January. This is a significant accomplishment in their efforts to combat drug trafficking in the state.

Furthermore, Governor Newsom's plan to prevent gas price spikes has been praised by Stanford economists in an article for the Sacramento Bee. They have deemed it an economically sound policy that addresses an important problem in a fair and effective manner.
This year also marks a significant milestone for the California Highway Patrol (CHP) as they celebrate 50 years of women serving in the department. In 1974, the first women participated in the CHP cadet program, paving the way for many more women to join as officers.
Overall, these recent developments highlight the commitment of both state and federal governments towards improving various aspects of life for Californians. With continued investments and initiatives like these, it is clear that California is on a path towards progress and growth.
