~ In response to the intensifying effects of climate change, California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced a $300 million investment in 15 projects to make the state's transportation infrastructure more resilient. The projects are designed to protect life and property from floods, sandstorms, and other natural disasters.
"California is at the forefront of the devastating impacts of climate change that are wiping entire towns off the map, destroying property, and putting communities in danger," said Governor Newsom. "These projects fund critical evacuation roads, preserve access to a regional hospital, and safeguard railways along our coastline to protect life and property throughout the state, among other benefits."
The California Transportation Commission (CTC) is overseeing the project funding. CTC Chair Lee Ann Eager commented on the importance of these investments: "Climate change is impacting communities across California. The Commission is grateful to Governor Newsom and the Legislature for making funding available for these critically needed improvements and ensuring our transportation system will be functional and safe for future generations."

One of the key projects funded by this investment will provide a second route for emergency evacuations in Paradise in case of a natural disaster. Another project will elevate a road in Coachella Valley to allow access to a hospital and other critical resources during floods or sandstorms. Additionally, rail-lines along California's coast will be fortified to ensure safety for passengers and cargo transportation during storms or coastal erosion events.
Governor Newsom has been leading California's response to devastating floods, fires, and other disasters driven by climate change since taking office earlier this year. During Tropical Storm Hilary in August 2020, he visited Inland Empire and Desert communities to highlight the need for climate resiliency projects across the state.
The approved projects are expected to have long-term benefits for Californians by protecting them from extreme weather events caused by climate change while also improving safety on roadways throughout the state. A full list of approved projects can be found here.
