Build California’s infrastructure: In November 2006, the voters approved the first installment of that 20-year vision to rebuild California by authorizing a series of general obligation bonds totaling $42.7 billion. These public works projects will create new career opportunities for California workers. For details, see http://www.bondaccountability.ca.gov/Bonds/ Proposition 1B — Transportation $19.9 billion Proposition 1B enacts the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006 to authorize $19.925 billion of state general obligation bonds for specified purposes, including high-priority transportation corridor improvements, State Route 99 corridor enhancements, trade infrastructure and port security projects, school bus retrofit and replacement purposes, state transportation improvement program augmentation, transit and passenger rail improvements, state-local partnership transportation projects, transit security projects, local bridge seismic retrofit projects, highway-railroad grade separation and crossing improvement projects, state highway safety and rehabilitation projects, and local street and road improvement, congestion relief, and traffic safety. For details, see http://svdtsucp.dot.ca.gov:8084/bondacc/ Proposition 1C — Housing $2.85 billion This $2.85 billion affordable housing bond component of the Strategic Growth Plan invests $2.85 billion for housing and infrastructure programs to produce an estimated 118,000 housing units, 2,350 homeless shelter spaces, and infrastructure projects that help infill housing development such as water, sewer, parks, and transportation improvements. For details, see http://www.bondaccountability.hcd.ca.gov/ Proposition 1D — Education $10.4 billion California’s public education system is the largest in the nation. The system includes kindergarten through grade 12 school districts, community college districts, California State University, University of California, Hastings College of the Law, and the California State Library. The education system serves over 8.4 million full time equivalent students at over 9,700 schools. Because our primary and secondary school system helps develop tomorrow’s workforce, the $10.4 billion provided through Proposition 1D is needed to help build and maintain this large education system. For details, see http://www.bondaccountability.ca.gov/Bonds/Education/default.php Proposition 1D — Flood control $4.09 billion The Disaster Preparedness and Flood Protection Bond Act of 2006 (Proposition 1E) authorizes $4.09 billion in general obligation bonds to rebuild and repair California’s most vulnerable flood control structures to protect homes and prevent loss of life from flood-related disasters, including levee failures, flash floods, and mudslides and to protect California’s drinking water supply system by rebuilding delta levees that are vulnerable to earthquakes and storms. Proposition 84 enhances these efforts with an additional $800 million for flood control projects. For details, see http://bondaccountability.resources.ca.gov/p1e.aspx Proposition 84 — Natural Resources $5.38 billion The Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006 (Proposition 84) authorizes $5.388 billion in general obligation bonds to fund safe drinking water, water quality and supply, flood control, waterway and natural resource protection, water pollution and contamination control, state and local park improvements, public access to natural resources, and water conservation efforts.For details, see http://bondaccountability.resources.ca.gov/p84.aspx Lease Revenue Bonds — Prisons $7.4 billion The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) operates all state adult prisons and juvenile facilities, oversees a variety of community correctional facilities and other important correctional facility responsibilities, and supervises all adult and juvenile parolees during their reentry into society.
