required two-thirds majority from the California Legislature and was signed into law by
Governor Brown on April 28, 2017. SB 1 establishes the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Program (RMRP) to address deferred maintenance on the state highway and local street road
systems. The bill provides that funds shall be used for projects that include, but are not limited
to, the following:
• Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
• Safety Projects
• Railroad Grade Separation
• Traffic Control Devices
Beginning November 1, 2017, the State Controller will deposit various portions of this new
funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A
percentage of this new RMRA funding will be apportioned by formula to eligible cities and
counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2032 (h) for basic maintenance,

condition will reduce drive times and traffic congestion, improve bicycle safety, and make the
pedestrian experience safer and more appealing which leads to reduce gas emissions helping the

in less air pollution from heavy equipment and less water pollution from site run-off; and,
