Culver City and Commerce will benefit from the latest round of funding from 2006's Proposition 1B, as will Placentia and Fullerton, Caltrans announced Wednesday.
About 2 billion in transportation funding has been distributed so far from voter-approved bond measure meant to raise $3.6 billion over 10 years.
The new round of funding includes $504,000 to Culver City to buy a system that shows when the next bus will arrive and other projects.
Commerce will get $188,360 to buy two new buses that run on compressed natural gas.
In Orange County, $400,000 will go to Placentia for construction of a new train station to alleviate overcrowding at the Fullerton Metrolink Station.
In Placentia and Fullerton, grade separation projects on Crowther and Fender avenues are planned at a cost of $12 million.
Another $25 million will go toward the construction of an underpass for vehicles at the BNSF railroad crossing between Walnut and Ash avenues. The same crossing also serves Metrolink trains on the 91 line.
