Our
Mission
- Education:
Explain the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act;
- Transparency:
Show how, when, and where the money is spent;
- Accountability:
Provide data that will allow citizens to evaluate the Act’s
progress and provide feedback.
The
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is an unprecedented
effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of
jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected
challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century.
The Recovery and Reinvestment Act is an extraordinary response
to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression. With much
at stake, the Act provides for unprecedented levels of transparency
and accountability so that you will be able to know how, when,
and where your tax dollars are being spent. Spearheaded by
a new Recovery Board, this Act contains built-in measures
to root out waste, inefficiency, and unnecessary spending.
This website, Recovery.gov, will be the main vehicle to provide
each and every citizen with the ability to monitor the progress
of the recovery.
As the centerpiece of the President’s commitment to
transparency and accountability, Recovery.gov will feature
information on how the Act is working, tools to help you hold
the government accountable, and up-to-date data on the expenditure
of funds.
The
site will include information about Federal grant awards and
contracts as well as formula grant allocations. Federal agencies
will provide data on how they are using the money, and eventually,
prime recipients of Federal funding will provide information
on how they are using their Federal funds. On our end, we
will use interactive graphics to illustrate where the money
is going, as well as estimates of how many jobs are being
created, and where they are located. And there will be search
capability to make it easier for you to track the funds.
The first incarnation of Recovery.gov features projections
for how, when, and where the funds will be spent -- which
states and sectors of the economy are due to receive what
proportion of the funds. As money starts to flow, far more
data will become available.

This
website will provide detailed information on federal funds
received and expended by the State. In addition, through the
use of digital mapping technology, the geographic distribution
of expenditures will be posted on this site. This portal will
also be used to fulfill federal reporting and accountability
requirements consistently throughout the state and provide
the public with up-to-date information about how their tax
dollars are being spent.

The
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is a
job and economic stimulus bill intended to help states and
the nation restart their economies and stimulate employment
during the worst economic downturn in over 70 years. In drafting
this bill, President Obama and Congress recognized that investment
in transportation infrastructure is one of the best ways to
create and sustain jobs, stimulate economic development, and
leave a legacy to support the financial well-being of the
generations to come. The intent and language of the bill responds
to the urgency of our national situation by tasking state
departments of transportation and other transportation stakeholders
to quickly move forward with mobility projects that bring
real value to the local, state, and national economy.
Nationally,
the bill provides more than $48 billion for transportation.
Formula programs in the ARRA apportion to California approximately
$2.57 billion for highways, local streets and roads, freight
and passenger rail, and port infrastructure projects, and
$1.07 billion for transit projects. In addition, California
is eligible to apply for funding under other discretionary
programs that set aside:
- $8
billion for high speed and intercity rail,
- $1.5
billion for significant surface transportation projects,
- $1.3
billion for aviation, and
- $2.2
billion for AMTRAK, new starts, transit, ferries and other
programs.
Ensuring that California gets the maximum benefit from the
ARRA will remain the primary focus of the Department until
all funding opportunities under the bill expire. The Department
is taking action to help expedite this program and facilitate
use of the funds. This website is the Department's focal point
for information on using the benefits of ARRA to create jobs
and jumpstart the national economy through increasing mobility
in California.
