The Problem.
Everybody complains about it, but no one knows what to do about it. California’s infrastructure – transportation, water and schools – requires hundreds of billions of dollars of investment.

The Question.
Traditional funding through general obligation bonds is no longer sufficient. Local, state and federal governments are all working on parts of what should be a statewide integrated strategy. Eventually voters will be asked to support a plan. Will it be the best it can be?

The California Economic Summit identified improving infrastructure as one of its 7 Signature Initiatives to improve the state’s economy. Regional leaders are meeting around the state this month and next to discuss how to improve the state’s ability to create jobs and grow its economy.
