We've now removed 3.4 MILLION cubic yards of litter and debris from highways and public spaces in California — enough trash to fill more than 136,000 garbage trucks.
Powered by Caltrans, our relentless Clean California initiative is revitalizing every corner of the state.

Jennifer and I extend our deepest sympathies to the family, friends, and colleagues of California Department of Transportation Engineer – Construction Inspector Mahdi Khorram.
In Mahdi’s honor, flags will be lowered to half-staff at the Capitol and on all Caltrans buildings.

Caltrans installed sharrows on a 3 lane one-way road with a highway offramp 😱
Advocates were told at multiple meetings this WOULD NOT HAPPEN, and yet it happened
@cityofoakland.bsky.social must rescind Caltrans permit until they implement the safe pedestrian and cyclist access they promised

Sounds like Caltrans should've built this
COMPLETE: Avenue 17 Grade Separation
📍Madera County
The grade separation will:
🤝Serve as a new through roadway improving east-west mobility for the community
🚑Reduce emergency response times
🚅Take traffic & pedestrians over BNSF & future HSR tracks

The landlord for this parcel hadn’t paid his $6500 rent to Caltrans in over a year, but he was charging $23,500/month to 11 different immigrant businesses he was illegally subletting to. None had insurance; they all lost everything. This fire happened a week after everyone got a summons to testify.

PS: saw 2!! Caltrans Chevy Silverado trucks charging at the Tesla chargers.
Which I find hilarious mainly because a) we’re paying Caltrans staff to lean against their vehicles while it charges and b) there isn’t a charger even at the Caltrans yard. Seems like an oversight.

take money away from the caltrans highway division and give it to them too
California needs a state-level mass transit agency that would ideally get full land use authority and ownership within a certain radius of train stations and bus stops so that they could fund operations with residential and commercial rents.
It's crazy how Metrolink has had no budget for 6 months, has been threatening service cuts for that entire time, and virtually no media has covered it. Numerous articles about Metrolink fare increases or service disruptions that don't mention this at all!
