Governor Schwarzenegger today announced the construction groundbreaking of the largest highway project in the nation using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds known to date.

California will receive billions in Recovery Act funds to repair and improve our state’s transportation system, create jobs and stimulate economic growth. California will receive funds to rebuild and repair highways, local streets and roads, as well as numerous transit projects. California is also eligible to apply for billions in competitive funding for high speed and intercity rail, surface transportation projects, aviation and AMTRAK, new starts, transit, ferries and other programs; California is positioning itself to receive a large portion of funds for high speed rail, which will supplement the $10 billion voters approved in November 2008 to jumpstart high speed rail, create jobs and clean up the environment in California.

Governor Schwarzenegger is a strong advocate for infrastructure investment as it is one of the best ways to create and sustain jobs, stimulate economic development, and leave a legacy to support the financial well-being of the generations to come.
