Caltrans strengthens water management in the face of drought. By adopting new practices and investing in new technologies, we were able to reduce water usage statewide while increasing the amount of landscaped land.
To address the threat posed by climate change and sea-level rise, Caltrans is evaluating adaptation strategies to maintain the existing State transportation network.
Caltrans strives to improve Californians’ quality of life without compromising that of future generations. Caltrans meets this commitment by applying sustainability principles in the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of California’s integrated multimodal transportation system.
