Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF)

The Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006, approved by the voters as Proposition 1B on November 7, 2006, authorized $2 billion in general obligation bond proceeds to be deposited in the Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF). Funds in the TCIF are available to the California Transportation Commission upon appropriation in the annual Budget Bill by the Legislature and subject to such conditions and criteria as the Legislature may provide by statute for infrastructure improvements along federally designated "Trade Corridors of National Significance" in this state or along other corridors within this state that have a high volume of freight movement. The Commission is to consult the Trade Infrastructure and Goods Movement Plan (PDF), trade infrastructure and goods movement plans adopted by regional transportation planning agencies, regional transportation plans, and Cal-MITSAC Statewide Port Master Plan.
