WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) March 11 announced $236.9 million in federal funding for 17 California projects to improve neighborhood connectivity, roadway infrastructure, and street safety. The announcement includes $139 million for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority “Removing Barriers and Creating Legacy” project, which will reconnect communities and strengthen mobility across highway and arterial barriers ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The FY 2023 grants come through the Reconnecting Communities Pilot (RCP) Program and the Neighborhood Access and Equity (NAE) Grant Program established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, respectively. The RCP was modeled off the Reconnecting Communities Act that Padilla co-led in 2021.
