Three years in, President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has unleashed investment across California

Safer roads and bridges. Clean and safe drinking water. More public transit. Upgraded airports and shipping ports. Increased climate resiliency and conservation. Cleaner energy. 

In just the last three years since the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was passed and signed into law by President Biden, California has received more than $61.5 billion in funding for projects that are transforming the state’s infrastructure for the better. On top of that, the Biden-Harris Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act has funded $3 billion in projects helping to build the state. 

The impacts of the landmark infrastructure law on California can’t be overstated. It is the single-largest investment in infrastructure in the state since the 1980s and is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to advance California’s world-leading climate action. 

The funding is part of Governor Gavin Newsom’s build more, faster infrastructure agenda. Find projects in your community at build.ca.gov. 

Earlier this week, Governor Newsom was in Washington, D.C. where he met with President Biden, Administration leadership and officials, as well as California’s Congressional leaders. The Governor focused on efforts to continue key state and federal partnerships to best deliver for nearly 40 million Californians — discussing key initiatives including infrastructure investments.

Here’s a breakdown of the $61.5 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding provided to California:

• Airports, ports and waterways: $2.8 billion
• Broadband: $4 billion
• Energy efficiency and clean energy: $1.4 billion
• Public transit: $22 billion
• Road and bridges: $24.4 billion
• Water, climate and environment: $6.9 billion
