Written by jrood
Transportation projects throughout Orange County received an added boost when the California Transportation Commission allocated nearly $140 million to fund construction. The projects awarded are part of the State Transportation Improvement Program and voter-approved Proposition 1B, a $20 billion bond program to fund transportation projects throughout the state. The commission allocated the money as a result of state bond sales last month. In addition to the $69 million awarded to a road project, OCTA rail projects that received funding include: • $29.2 million for construction of the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center • $22.6 million for the Kraemer Boulevard railroad grade separation • $15 million for the Placentia Avenue railroad grade separation • $2 million for rail crossing improvements in San Clemente and Dana Point • $1 million for signal synchronization Since its passage in 2006, more than $7 billion in Prop 1B funds has been allocated, including more than $420 million for Orange County projects.
