Executive Director, Daryl Halls

On June 7th, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) programmed $11 million in state funds to widen SR 12 Jameson Canyon. This was the only Bay Area project to receive these funds and the $11 million completes the funding for the first phase of this project, which will add two lanes and a median barrier on SR 12 from I-80 in Solano to SR 29 in Napa County.

Thanks to collective efforts of Solano Economic Development Corporation, Chambers of Commerce from Fairfield-Suisun, Rio Vista, Vacaville and Vallejo, Highway 12 Association, and various energized Solano County residents, the STA has received support of Caltrans in accelerating the schedule for repaving and resurfacing I-80 from Vallejo to Vacaville, providing interim and short term safety improvements on SR 12 from I-80 to the Rio Vista Bridge, and authorizing the STA to initiate a study for placement of a permanent median barrier on this stretch of SR 12. STA will continue to work with Caltrans to ensure these projects stay on schedule.
