SB 695
California law now designates climate-resilient transportation projects as priorities for funding and approval, targeting infrastructure vulnerable to climate impacts statewide and regionally.
SB 695 establishes a framework for identifying and funding transportation projects in California that address climate resiliency while serving statewide and regional significance. The bill creates criteria and processes for designating certain transportation improvements as priority climate adaptation infrastructure, potentially unlocking dedicated funding streams and expedited approval pathways for qualifying projects.
California faces increasing climate impacts including flooding, wildfires, and extreme weather that threaten transportation infrastructure and economic connectivity. By codifying climate resiliency standards into transportation planning, the state can strategically invest in infrastructure upgrades that both maintain mobility and build adaptive capacity, particularly in vulnerable regions.
