Among today’s approved investments is $53 million to purchase 12 clean energy locomotives to replace older diesel engines across Southern California’s Metrolink system. Approximately $57 million will be spent to repair a section of State Route 1 near Lucia damaged by slides in last winter’s storms, and $9.5 million will help build a mobility center in Santa Maria that will serve as a hub for regional, clean-energy buses.

CA is investing $53m in new diesel locomotives that will last for decades. It's good that Metrolink can retire its dirtiest locomotives, but where is the plan to electrify? #ElectrifyMetrolink www.gov.ca.gov/2025/12/08/g...

You love to see it. Time for LA to get on with it.

“Our overall conclusion is that congestion pricing in New York City, like many other cities in the world that have implemented it, helped not only improve traffic, but also helped reduce air pollutant concentration, improve air quality and should be good for public health.”

Now that 5 day RTO is in full effect in the OC, the 405 is filling up for the 2 hr commute period so I'm sure soon we'll hear about the need for 1 more lane... Rather than learn that endless road construction just leads to more construction...

Opinion: One Less Lane Ought To Fix It — Streetsblog USA Federal inaction means states must lead on reducing emissions — but their reluctance to reallocate road space for cars may doom climate goals.

California Air Resources Board: "To achieve climate goals, we need less driving"
Transportation Researchers: "To reduce driving, we need fewer lane miles"

Caltrans: "We need billions of dollars to keep widening highways."
California Legislature: "You got it."
