Transportation Accountability Act

AB 2086, the Transportation Accountability Act, authored by Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo, will require Caltrans to report where our transportation dollars are going.

We need to follow the money to ensure our transportation spending matches our priorities.

California spends over $30 billion annually on transportation, but emissions from transportation are increasing, constituting around 50% of total GHG emissions in the state. If California is serious about meeting its climate and equity goals, we need greater transparency in how our transportation dollars are spent.

The Transportation Accountability Act, AB 2086, will require Caltrans, the state’s department of transportation, to publish how its annual transportation spending is advancing the vision and goals of the California Transportation Plan. This will ensure that the public can easily access and understand whether each of our transportation investments is benefiting or harming their communities and upholding the state’s goals.

The Transportation Accountability Act has found rare bipartisan support in the California legislature. Transform will continue to work hard to ensure it becomes law. Sign our petition today to voice your support for this essential measure.

Creating a sustainable transportation system for California’s future

We need bike lanes, not highway lanes. Let’s build sidewalks and crosswalks and protected intersections that allow young people to walk or bike safely to school. Let’s prioritize bus-only lanes, so taking public transit is a convenient and relaxing alternative to driving in traffic. The Transportation Transparency Bill is a significant step toward Transform’s vision for a future where everyone has the transportation options they need to thrive.

California’s clean transportation revolution needs you!

Transform’s dedicated staff work hard every day to build coalitions, connect with legislators, and craft policies that support equitable transportation choice. But we can’t do it without your support.
