The Sacramento Region and the One Plan to Rebuild California
– Vote yes on Props 1A, 1B all the way through 1E

One simple plan, one powerful idea: Build it now. Set something aside to pay over the long term – without raising taxes.

Like the rest of California, the Sacramento area’s economy depends on good schools, good roads, safe homes and clean drinking water – and we need to invest in our infrastructure to keep our economy sound.

A plan that delivers for the Sacramento Region:

• Add commuter lanes on Interstate 80, Highway 50 and Interstate 5
• Expand commuter and light rail service
• Safe homes for seniors and victims of domestic violence
• Make our schools earthquake safe
• Protect our homes from flooding
• Safeguard our supply of clean drinking water

One plan everyone supports. Business and Labor. Democrats and Republicans. North and South. Everyone agrees it’s time for one comprehensive plan for infrastructure – the one plan to Rebuild California.

Traffic and Transportation

Prop. 1A: By closing a legal loophole to prevent the diversion of gasoline sales taxes, the Sacramento region stands to gain a stable source of long-term transportation funding. A portion of these funds would be distributed directly to cities for local transportation needs, including millions of dollars a year to Sacramento, Stockton, Davis and surrounding cities and counties.

Prop. 1B: The Sacramento region stands to gain a significant share of this $20 billion effort to expand and repair our most dangerous and congested highways, fund public transit and reduce air pollution.

Sacramento’s fair share: the Rebuild California Plan would provide each region a fair share for regional improvements and local projects, including millions for regional transportation projects in the Sacramento area.

• Funds for transit operators to expand service, replace buses and train cars, and modernize transit systems throughout the region.
  
• Millions in STIP funds for the region’s priority transit and highway projects.
  
• Funding for cities and counties to meet their local transportation priorities, including improving safety, filling potholes and resurfacing streets.

In addition to these funds, the Sacramento region is well positioned to compete for funding available statewide to improve safety and reduce congestion on major highway corridors including:

• $1 billion for transit security and disaster preparedness.
• $4.5 billion for high-priority highway improvements, like Interstate 80, Highway 50 and Highway 99.
• $1 billion for self help counties.

Housing and Emergency Shelter

The Sacramento region is expected to receive millions to fund emergency shelter and housing programs, which would leverage millions more in private, federal and local matching funds and build hundreds of affordable homes and emergency shelter spaces.

In addition, the Sacramento region is well positioned to receive a share of $1.15 billion in funding available to help communities build more homes closer to job centers and train and public transit stations to ease congestion long term.

Schools

The Rebuild California Plan would provide the Sacramento region with a share of $7.3 billion to build new schools and repair or expand overcrowded or dilapidated school buildings. State funds pay for half the cost of each new school, and 60 percent of the funding for each major repair and renovation project.

The plan includes $500 million to help build new charter schools, and $500 million to help local schools provide career and technical education.

In addition, the Rebuild California Plan provides $3 billion to repair and expand community colleges and universities such as Sacramento State and UC Davis.

Water Supply and Flood Control

The Rebuild California Plan helps protect Sacramento area homes and businesses from devastating floods by providing $3 billion to repair and reinforce river levees in and around California’s Central Valley – and in the process protect one of the largest sources of water to farms, homes and businesses throughout the state.

In addition, the Sacramento region would receive a share of $500 million set aside for local flood control projects and $300 million to help manage storm runoff that can pollute local streams and rivers.
