California at a Crossroads: Unleashing Climate Progress in Transportation Planning

NextGen Policy’s Climate 100 project calls on California’s leaders to:
- Put 100 percent of our taxpayer dollars to work in a manner that is consistent with our state’s climate goals
- Enact and build on the Governor’s 2022-2023 $37B Climate Budget
- Develop a $100B 3-year transformative climate investment package for 2023
California must stop treating climate as a niche spending category, separate from the primary functioning of the state. Every taxpayer dollar spent is connected to the climate crisis. We need a bold, integrated investment strategy that puts 100% of our state budget to work in ways that advance California’s clean energy objectives, fostering equity and prosperity, and building more resilient communities.
