The location-based needs provides information related to bicycle, sidewalk, and crossing needs. Initially the projected due date for this effort was March 2022 however statewide data was not available which caused delays. The updated timeline is 2024.

Goal: Strengthen Stewardship and Drive Efficiency

Increase the utilization of DBE certified contractors, overall and across each SED group, to annually achieve our DBE goal of 22.2%.

Increase the dollar value of small businesses, disabled veteran business enterprises, and disadvantaged business enterprises, by 100% by June 2023.

Caltrans Office of Civil Rights (OCR) projected year-over-year increases based on increases from the baseline fiscal year of 2014-15. Given the office’s virtual outreach, increase in certification, and other tools used in its outreach.


climate icon

Goal: Lead Climate Action

Increase the percentage of Caltrans fleet that are ZEVs, to 8% by June 2023.

Zero-emission vehicles include pure zero emission vehicles such as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEV). Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are considered transitional ZEVs and are included in the department’s count of ZEVs. The percentage of ZEV vehicles in the fleet is calculated using the total number of ZEV fleet in-service count divided by the total self-propelled mobile fleet in-service count. The department faces a few challenges to meet the goal of 20% ZEVs by 2025. These challenges include vehicle technology and availability, fueling and charging infrastructure, and funding. In the near term, the fleet ZEVs are not anticipated to increase as fast as in future years when the industry and the department start to overcome these challenges.


equity icon

Goal: Advance Equity and Livability in all Communities

Caltrans is in the process of developing several data tools that will help us gauge our success toward equity. An Equity Index, Accessibility Score, and Engagement Tool are currently under development. Until they are developed, and a baseline is established, there is no data to report. Once these tools are developed, we will be reporting on those data sets. Initially these tools had projected completion dates between March and June 2022 however pending agreements, vendor procurements, and resource issues caused delays. The updated timeline for these tools is mid-2023 to mid-2024.
