ballotpedia.orgI don’t have live access to the latest news in my current session, but I can share what’s commonly known about the Road Repair and Accountability Act (RRAA) and suggest how to get the latest updates.
What is the Road Repair and Accountability Act
- The Road Repair and Accountability Act, commonly SB 1, was enacted in California in 2017 to raise revenue for transportation infrastructure through increased fuel taxes and registration fees, with provisions intended to fund road, bridge, and transit improvements. It also included accountability measures to ensure funds are used for transportation purposes.[4]
- The law expanded so that funding targets included multiple programs, such as state highway maintenance, bridge and culvert rehabilitation, and freight corridors, aiming to address decades of underinvestment in California’s transportation system.[4]
