If you missed last week's informative presentation, the recorded session can now be viewed on our CALTAP YouTube channel.

In this webinar, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) California Division are sharing recent changes to Buy America requirements resulting from the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (IIJA) and Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act.

BABA basically requires that Buy America preferences on construction materials—like non-ferrous metals, plastic/polymer-based products, glass, lumber, and drywall—be permanently incorporated into all federal aid projects authorized as of November 10, 2022.
