Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar announced the state’s first-ever pothole repair program, a new initiative aimed at improving streets in communities with the greatest infrastructure needs across all seven municipalities.
The program will receive an investment of 223 million pesos as part of the state’s 2026 budget, addressing one of the most frequent complaints from residents: deteriorating roads.
While street maintenance typically falls under municipal responsibility, Governor Marina Del Pilar said the state will step in to support local administrations by coordinating efforts and helping close long-standing infrastructure gaps.
To ensure transparency and proper oversight, the governor instructed the state Treasury Department to establish a dedicated funding mechanism that will allocate resources exclusively for pothole repairs.
“This is one of the most consistent demands we hear from residents,” said state Treasury Secretary José Andrés Pulido Saavedra. “The governor asked us to create a program that directly responds to that need.”
State officials said the initiative is designed to improve mobility, safety, and overall quality of life in neighborhoods most affected by road damage.
