Issue Position: Roads and Infrastructure

Issue Position

Our national infrastructure of roads and bridges is in dire need of updating and maintenance. The central coast of California is no different. Jimmy is working to ensure that critical federal resources and brought to the Central Coast to ensure that we have efficient, sustainable, and modern transportation networks and infrastructure throughout the district. This best ensures that our communities remain connected, our businesses can grow, and we endure less time in traffic and more time with our loved ones.

After the recent winter storms ravaged parts of our community, Jimmy effectively worked with FEMA and CalTrans to reopen the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge in record time. This was a successful collaborative effort with federal, state, and local officials and should be a model for future infrastructure projects across the country.

Jimmy is also working on innovative solutions that utilize our tax dollars efficiently and effectively. He introduced the Federal Infrastructure Flood Resiliency Act, to reduce exposure to ocean rise for government-funded infrastructure projects. Jimmy is also working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to address the needs of our communities to protect our homes and neighborhoods from flooding and other climate change related disasters.
