California’s budget falls short on road funding to the tune of about $5.7 billion each year, according to the state’s Department of Transportation. A Caltrans report said the department needs $8 billion annually over the next 10 years to pay for the management and improvement goals set for the state’s infrastructure. But the state only has $2.3 billion budgeted to go towards transportation projects. According to the report, many of the roads and bridges in the state’s highway system were built well over 50 years ago and the department needs more money to continue to upgrade and maintain the state’s 50,000 highway lane miles and 13,000 bridges.
