Caltrans SB 1 and California Transportation Grant Support

We help agencies apply for Caltrans SB 1 grants, including programs run by the California Transportation Commission. Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, created steady state funding for California transportation, independent of the federal timeline. Several of its competitive programmes are run by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) with Caltrans. Many of these programmes ask for a benefit-cost analysis, commonly using Caltrans’ Cal-B/C model.

Caltrans SB 1 grants we support

  • Solutions for Congested Corridors Program (SCCP)
  • Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (TCEP), which is important for freight and logistics projects in the Inland Empire and the Central Valley
  • Local Partnership Program (LPP), for self-help counties and agencies with local transportation taxes or fees
  • Active Transportation Program (ATP), for walking and biking projects
  • Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP), administered by CalSTA. See transit grants.

What we deliver

  • Benefit-cost analysis using Cal-B/C or the method the guidelines require
  • Application narratives written to CTC scoring criteria
  • Performance metrics, disadvantaged community benefits and project readiness documentation
  • Coordination with your engineering team and your regional transportation planning agency

Why state funding matters now

State SB 1 funding has been steadier than federal discretionary funding. On state-funded work, California small business participation counts, and GERC is a certified SB (Micro) and SB-PW firm.

Funding programmes, amounts and deadlines change from cycle to cycle. Always check the current solicitation. We confirm the current rules before we start work.
