Caltrans has released its SB 1 Annual Efficiencies Report for
fiscal year 2018-2019, which notes that its efficiency measures
saved nearly $233 million – more than double the statutory goal
of $100 million per year. These funds will be reinvested to
maintain and rehabilitate the State Highway System.
The report is required under the Road Repair and
Accountability Act of 2017, or SB 1, which generates $5.4
billion annually. SB 1 mandates that Caltrans implement
efficiency measures with the goal of generating at least $100
million in annual savings to be reinvested into the State Highway
System.
