56, which authorizes the legislature to allocate up to $6. 7 million each fiscal year from the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation (EEM) Program Fund for projects that are directly or indirectly related to the environmental impacts of modifying existing transportation facilities, or for the design, construction, or expansion of new transportation facilities.
Examples of transportation facilities include, but are not limited to, city streets, highways, trains, ports, airports, light rail lines, mass transit stations, park and ride facilities, and high-occupancy vehicle lanes. The California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) develops procedures and criteria to evaluate grant project proposals and recommends projects for funding to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
The CTC annually awards grants to projects from CNRA's list. EEM projects must mitigate, either directly or indirectly, the environmental impacts caused by construction of a new transportation facility or the modification of an existing transportation facility.
Examples of transportation facilities include, but are not limited to, city streets, highways, trains, ports, airports, light rail lines, mass transit stations, park and ride facilities, and high-occupancy vehicle lanes.
