The California Transportation Commission closed its fiscal year on June 27, 2026, by rejecting a former owner's family member's plea to delay a Caltrans land sale. Commissioners approved 12 excess-property sales worth $4.1M by voice vote after staff found no law requiring a buyback. In the same session, the commission funded BART's tunnel into San Jose, restructured the Otay Mesa East border crossing and returned 136 acres of Mendocino coast to tribal stewardship.
- 12 surplus property sales, worth $4.1M, approved despite a 30-day postponement request on a Prunedale parcel
- $9.661M supplemental for BART Silicon Valley Phase 2 tunneling cleared ahead of a same-day VTA Board vote
- Otay Mesa East funding restructured and $255.1M allocated to build toll-generating facilities first
- Blues Beach returns to tribal stewardship through a 136-acre transfer to the Kaipuma nonprofit
- Time extensions keep rural evacuation projects alive in Mendocino County after the LTCAP program closed
The basics: A director's deed is the instrument Caltrans uses to sell excess state property. Tab 54 bundled 12 of these sales, expected to bring in about $4.1M. It was pulled from the consent calendar for separate debate.
