The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) received a $975,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective June 16, 2025. This award funds planning, conceptual design, and detailed engineering services for five regional transit signal priority projects across Northern California counties, including Contra Costa, Santa Clara, Marin, and San Mateo. The scope of work encompasses specific corridor improvements in San Ramon, Danville, San Jose, Concord, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Clayton, all signalized intersections in Marin County, and areas served by the San Mateo County transit frequent bus network.

The deliverables include evaluation of existing signal infrastructure conditions and signal timing optimization, systems engineering and integration services, signal retiming analysis, and development of recommendations for infrastructure improvements that prioritize transit operations. These projects represent the Highway Planning and Construction program's support for multimodal transportation improvements that enhance transit efficiency and safety through coordinated signal management across multiple jurisdictions in the San Francisco Bay Area region.
