Carbon Reduction Program

Carbon Reduction Program

On November 15, 2021, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) (also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or IIJA) was signed into law. The BIL authorized a new Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) federal funding to projects that decrease transportation emissions, which are defined as the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that result from on-road, highway sources. Although IIJA allows for a variety of projects to be funded through CRP, Caltrans’ Carbon Reduction Strategy directs Local and State CRP funds to be invested in projects that support bicycle and pedestrian, rail and transit, and zero-emission vehicles and infrastructure.

For more information on CRP funding and project application forms for the call for projects, please see below.
