Summary

(1) Existing law establishes the Transportation Agency in state government with various duties and responsibilities. The agency is under the supervision of the Secretary of Transportation, who has the power of general supervision over specified departments and offices, including the Department of Transportation. This bill would require the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with the Director of Transportation, to submit a report to the Legislature that discusses, among other things, the global warming potential, as defined, associated with certain materials currently used in state transportation projects, alternative and emerging materials with lower carbon emissions or net-negative carbon emissions, and strategies for using materials with lower carbon materials. The bill would require the department to report to the Legislature annually on the department's progress in implementing the strategies described above. (2) Existing law vests the department with the obligation to improve and maintain state highways, including all traversable highways that have been adopted or designated as state highways by the California Transportation Commission. This bill would require the department, no later than July 1, 2025, to require bidders on specified projects to submit an environmental product declaration, as defined, for the asphalt mixtures and concrete used in the project and to report the quantity of asphalt mixture and concrete used in the project, as specified.
