In the three years since President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law into effect, California has seen over $61.5 billion in federal funding directed toward improving the state’s infrastructure. Additionally, the Biden-Harris Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act has contributed $3 billion toward advancing key projects in the state.

The impact of this historic infrastructure initiative cannot be overstated. It represents the largest investment in California’s infrastructure since the 1980s, providing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strengthen the state’s leadership in climate action.

This funding aligns with Governor Gavin Newsom’s agenda to "build more, faster," an initiative aimed at accelerating critical infrastructure development. Residents can explore local projects at build.ca.gov.

Whether it's high-speed rail projects in Fresno, broadband expansion in the Bay Area, or wildlife crossings in Los Angeles, construction is visible all across the state. California is experiencing a Biden-Harris infrastructure boom, with the benefits of billions of dollars in state and federal investment beginning to take shape.

Governor Newsom emphasized that the state's commitment to completing these projects will ensure continued progress for California's infrastructure. “Thousands of jobs have been created, and countless projects that are essential to California’s future are underway," Newsom said. "We will finish the job of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to make sure every Californian benefits from these improvements."

Earlier this week, Governor Newsom traveled to Washington, D.C., where he met with President Biden, Administration officials, and California’s Congressional delegation. During the meeting, Newsom highlighted ongoing efforts to foster state and federal collaboration to support California’s nearly 40 million residents, focusing on infrastructure investments as a key priority.
