California’s SB 1 Funding: A Game-Changer for Smarter, Greener Infrastructure—And How BioSpan Can Help

California’s SB 1—also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017—is investing more than $5 billion every year into fixing roads, improving bridges, and building more sustainable transportation networks across the state.


This isn’t just an infrastructure upgrade. It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rethink how we build, maintain, and protect the surfaces we all depend on—from highways to bike paths, ports to parking lots.


And there’s never been a better time to bring BioSpan Technologies’ USDA BioPreferred™ solutions to the table.


Why BioSpan?

We make biobased, performance-driven pavement preservation and protection solutions—many of which are VOC-free, biobased, and field-proven across the U.S.. Our technologies align with California’s SB 1 goals of:


  • Extending the lifespan of existing infrastructure
  • Lowering lifecycle costs for taxpayers
  • Reducing environmental impact
  • Supporting sustainability mandates
  • Increasing ROI for cities and counties


The SB 1 Opportunity

Whether your agency is pursuing funding through:

  • Local Streets and Roads
  • SHOPP (State Highway Operation and Protection Program)
  • ATP (Active Transportation Program)
  • Trade Corridor Enhancements
  • Solutions for Congested Corridors


…our solutions help maximize your project’s value, qualify for grant scoring incentives, and support long-term performance.
