The California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA), which sets state transportation priorities, developed the Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure (CAPTI) in 2021 to limit state funding for highway and roadway projects. The State’s plan is to get you onto trains, buses, and bicycles, but how? Do you have access to a bus and train to get around daily? Will the state invest the billions upon billions of dollars that it would take for you to have those options in Riverside County?
Today, CalSTA is considering CAPTI updates to make it even more difficult for your tax dollars to come back to your community. Many of the projects you want will not be eligible for state funding. If they get their way, our traffic will only get worse.
The State wants your opinion on their transportation policies and funding priorities. Read the information below and share how this will impact you.
These actions are well-intentioned, but when it comes down to details, the consequences will be:
• Delays or cancellation to long-planned road projects that voters support
• The cost of transportation improvements could double
• Fewer improvements get built
• Inadequate funding for public transportation alternatives
• Traffic gets worse
How will you get to work? School? Medical appointments?
Public Comments from Leaders Across Riverside County
“We ask for CAPTI options that help our residents, not siphon away their gas tax dollars for projects that would otherwise meaningfully improve their lives.”
Aaron Hake
RCTC Executive Director
“Working families in our inland region, many of whom lack access to reliable alternatives to driving, are deserving of more state resources to facilitate their transportation needs.”
Sabrina Cervantes
Assemblymember, District 58
