• Requires the Commission to allocate Caltrans' Capital Outlay Support (preconstruction) for SHOPP projects, consistent with the Commission’s recommendation in the 2016 Annual Report.
• Requires the newly created Independent Office of Audits & Investigations within Caltrans to ensure the Administration, Legislature, and Commission are fully informed concerning fraud, improper activities or other serious abuses or deficiencies related to the expenditure of transportation funds or administration of Caltrans’ programs and operations.
• Creates an Advance Mitigation program to accelerate project delivery while meeting applicable environmental requirements, and funds the program with an annual set aside of $30 million for the next four years from the annual appropriations for the STIP and the SHOPP.
