It’s a problem state government can’t solve with existing resources, the private sector won’t take on without public partners, and nonprofits can’t address alone.
California lacks funding for every type of infrastructure—from moving goods to moving information—but the scope of this challenge (a $300 billion shortfall over the next 10 years just for maintaining the state’s transportation system) has proven too much for traditional public investment. The state and federal government simply haven’t been able to close these gaps.
