69 signalized intersections along multiple roadway segments improve signal hardware: lenses, back-plates with retroreflective borders, mounting, size

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a $410,000 Formula Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on November 1, 2024. The grant will fund improvements to 69 signalized intersections along multiple roadway segments in California, including:

• Upgrading signal hardware such as lenses, back-plates with retroreflective borders, mounting, and size
• Installing pedestrian countdown signal heads
• Installing advanced stop bars before crosswalks (bicycle boxes)

Caltrans will serve as the primary grantee, and the City of Antioch has been awarded a $156,140 sub-grant to implement the intersection improvements within its jurisdiction. The grant aims to enhance transportation safety and accessibility through targeted infrastructure upgrades across California's roadway network.
