Caltrans

From scenic backroads to the busiest freeways, Caltrans keeps California moving.

We manage more than 50,000 miles of highway and freeway lanes, support intercity rail service, permit over 400 public-use airports and hospital heliports, and partner with local agencies to deliver a seamless transportation network.

Since 1895, we have been more than road crews, we are California’s transportation backbone. For over a century, we’ve moved people and commerce, and today we continue to lead with innovation, resilience, and a vision for the future of mobility.

Our work spans every corner of transportation: engineering, environmental stewardship, technology, maintenance, equipment, planning, surveying, finance, traffic operations, aeronautics, legal services, and administration.
