Caltrans District 4 has started construction on the State Route (SR) 12/SR 113 Roundabout Project. This $4.6 million project is entirely funded by the State Highway Operations and Protection Program (SHOPP).
SCC students passed a ten-year extension of a student fee for transit in Solano County. 85% of students voted to approve the extension. This fee is part of their semester student fee and enables SCC students to ride SolanoExpress or local transit services provided by Fairfield and Suisun Transit (FAST), Solano County Transit (SolTrans) or Vacaville City Coach for free by showing their SCC student ID. Thank you Solano Community College students and staff for making this happen!

At the February 13, 2019 Solano Transportation Authority (STA) Board Meeting, new Board Alternates Donald Roos (City of Rio Vista, Vice Mayor), Lionel Largaespada (City of Benicia, Council Member), and Michael Segala (City of Suisun City, Mayor Pro-Tem) were sworn in.
In partnership with the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), Solano County Public Health, and the City of Fairfield, the STA’s Safe Routes to School Program staff hosted a Solano County Pedestrian Safety Symposium to discuss ideas to reduce pedestrian vs. vehicle collisions in Solano County. According to OTS collision statistics, Solano County has the 2 nd highest collision rate in California for pedestrians under 15 years old. Participants were presented with countywide collision data along with Solano Public Health data, illustrating the correlation between health inequities and pedestrian injuries. They were also asked to share what their cities are currently doing to address pedestrian safety, and to collaborate and develop an action plan to address this issue on a countywide scale. Additional community level workshops will take place this year to continue the discussion about Pedestrian Safety.
The STA Board adopted the 2019 Legislative Platform at the February 13, 2019 Board meeting. Two new priority projects were added to the 2019 Legislative Priorities and Platform; the I-505/Vaca Valley Interchange in Vacaville and dredging of the Mare Island Strait in Vallejo.
The Board approved the STA to enter into a second State Route (SR) 37 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Napa Valley Transportation Authority, the Sonoma County Transportation Authority, the Transportation Authority of Marin, the California Department of Transportation, and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for allocation of the Regional Measure 3 funds to begin the next phase of work on SR 37. The MOU also includes the SR 37/Fairgrounds Project in Segment E which will receive $15 million in bridge toll funds to help fund construction for the project. Bridge toll funding will also be dedicated to begin the environmental process for Segment B, the two lanes segment from the Mare Island Interchange to the SR 37/121 Interchange. The first MOU was adopted in 2015, primarily to address flooding issues on SR 37 after heavy rain storms and to develop a corridor plan for future traffic improvements.
