Governor Newsom Highlights Funding for Climate Change Resiliency Projects Across California
Sacramento, CA...Governor Newsom says the impacts of climate change pose a major risk to California’s transportation infrastructure. To better prepare for a changing climate and to improve safety, the state is funding 15 key projects to make our roadways more resilient to changing weather patterns. Key projects funded by this investment will:
Provide a second route for emergency evacuations in Paradise in the event of a natural disaster.
Elevate a road in the Coachella Valley to allow access to a hospital and other critical resources during floods and sandstorms.
Fortify rail-lines along California’s coast to ensure the safety of passengers and cargo transportation.
Sacramento – Today, Governor Gavin Newsom highlighted funding to strengthen California’s transportation infrastructure amid intensifying climate impacts. In recent years, Californians have experienced record temperatures, and intensifying storms, floods, and fires – damaging property and taking lives.
“California is at the forefront of the devastating impacts of climate change that are wiping entire towns off the map, destroying property, and putting communities in danger. These projects fund critical evacuation roads, preserve access to a regional hospital, and safeguard railways along our coastline to protect life and property throughout the state, among other benefits.” Governor Gavin Newsom
To better prepare California for future volatile weather conditions, through the California Transportation Commission, the state is investing over $300 million in 15 projects to make our transportation infrastructure more resilient to the effects of climate change.
“Climate change is impacting communities across California,” said Commission Chair Lee Ann Eager. “The Commission is grateful to Governor Newsom and the Legislature for making funding available for these critically needed improvements and ensuring our transportation system will be functional and safe for future generations.”
Since taking office, Governor Gavin Newsom has led the state’s response to devastating floods, fires and other disasters driven by climate change. In August of this year, the Governor met with communities across Southern California, including the Inland Empire and Desert communities as Tropical Storm Hilary made landfall, bringing damaging rain and winds – and highlighting the need to prioritize climate resiliency projects across the state.
Key projects supported by this funding include:
Coachella Valley:
This project will construct two bridges, elevating the height of a critical roadway that is susceptible to floods and sandstorms, both of which can obstruct the passage of vehicles. Additionally, this passage connects Palm Springs and Desert Hot Springs with access to a regional hospital.
Paradise:
This project provides an alternative route for emergency evacuations during a natural disaster for climate-vulnerable communities in the region. During the devastating Camp Fire, residents faced challenges evacuating because they had limited access to alternative routes, underscoring the need for this project.
Strengthening Rail-lines:
A seven-mile stretch of railroad tracks along California’s coast, which experiences frequent closures and service interruptions due to storm surge and coastal erosion, will be fortified to address climate-related impacts. This area between Dana Point and San Clemente provides a key transportation route in the region for both passengers and cargo.
A full list of approved projects can be found here.

Ok, we get it you don't like fossil fuels. However since the rest of the world will be using them and profiting from them is it better to have the greenest providers of them or nation state providers that truly don't care about the environment?
I will take Exxon or Chevron any day over Rosneft, National Iranian Oil Company or PDVSA.
We choose to punish ourselves and our economy in some kind of self loathing idiocy.
Air doesn't stop at borders

Propaganda.
Dotards with a Lemming mentality.
Turn off FauxNews. Think for yourself.
If you can't plan for the future, then your past failures continue to cause problems.
Trump never had a plan for anything. He continued time after time to say a plan would be coming, but he never produced one thing. His cult following fails to see this.
His cult following seems to think that any plan from a Democrat is a Communist plot.
Frickin dotards.

+1^^. Did you see Trump on Saturday night say the Deep State is hiding under the carpet????? He has NO plan, his entire campaign is built on INSULTS, and his plan is "RETRIBUTION". His word, not mine. He didn't get anything done except tax cuts for big business while he was in office, and he has no plans except to go after people that did him wrong if he gets back in.
JUST WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS............................
Perphuck him.

+2 Lets get this straight. Donald J Trump is a physical coward. An obese human with no backbone. He is a liar, a cheat, a sinner, and again, a coward.
He is what is known as a fakeriot. Not a patriot, a fakeriot. He cares about nobody but himself. Not his exwives, his present wife, his children, nobody.
He is hell bent on destroying our democracy. He said Saturday nite a US General, of course un-named, called his debate of Hillary Clinton the "bravest" thing he has ever seen. Are you kidding me? Trump would turn and run if he ever had to physically confront anyone. He is a coward, a turncoat, and any name you want to come up with.
Anyone that supports or votes for him is a traitor also.
Wake up Fakeriots. ABT(AnyoneButTrump)
He will destroy our country and its standing in the world community.
