California's legislative leaders are working on a bond measure to support sustainable transportation as federal policies lean away from non-auto-centric planning. Assemblymember Nick Shultz introduced AB 939, which aims to place a $20 billion bond on the November 2026 ballot. This funding would cover multiple projects, including transit improvements, rail upgrades, zero-emission vehicle investments, and safety enhancements. The proposal requires approval from both legislative houses and the governor before it can be voted on by the public. The initiative represents a strong push towards upgrading California's transit infrastructure and emphasizes sustainability.
It's great to see a bond measure focused on solely improving sustainable transportation; California's transit systems need our support and we look forward to working with the author to help shape this measure into one that will give public transportation a much-needed boost.
AB 939 would place a bond on the November 3, 2026 statewide ballot to fund sustainable transportation throughout California, raising $20 billion for a variety of projects.
The bond would include $6 billion for transit capital improvements, $4 billion for rail improvements, and funding for zero-emission vehicles and safety enhancements.
