Every minute of every day, people in our state are drinking water and traveling on roads. Millions are getting to work on public transportation and sending children to public schools. These are examples of "infrastructure" - the foundation of our vast and bustling state.

When it is serving us well, we may not even notice this foundation that supports how we live and work. But when it falls short, we're all involved. There are many proposals now about infrastructure that require public choices. The decisions we make together will affect California's economy and quality of life for years to come.

This nonpartisan brochure explains what infrastructure is, how projects are financed, and what you can do to get involved. The brochure is ready for widespread use by individuals or organizations that wish to share it with their audiences.
