	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: California Department of Transportation
		Caltrans (full name: California Department of Transportation) is a government agency in the U.S. state of California.
		It was the last state highway department in the United States to number its freeway exits (the Cal-NExUS program), and one of the last to switch from dark green "button copy" signs to bright green reflective signs.
		Northern California carpool lanes are always directly adjacent to mainline traffic lanes and are restricted to carpools only during rush hour, while Southern California carpool lanes are always separated from mainline lanes (except at designated entrance/exit areas) and most are restricted at all times.

	California Transportation Plan 1993
		California’s lack of a focus on the full intermodal transportation funding picture for all sources of transportation funds from the State, regional, and local agencies operating the transportation system, as well as the private sector investments impedes Caltrans’ and the California Transportation Commission’s ability to assess long-term funding availability and needs.
		Their issues are: insufficient transportation funding; the development of equitable, effective and cost-efficient transit services; the development, safety, and maintenance of the highway system; and reducing the impacts of growth and increased recreational travel while providing support for economic development.
		California Transportation Plan A-5 California Transportation Plan B-1 The San Francisco Bay Area is comprised of the counties of San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, and San Mateo.

	About Caltrans
		The department has been active in moving the people and commerce of California for more than 100 years from a loosely connected web of footpaths and rutted wagon routes to the sophisticated system that today serves the transportation needs of more than 30 million residents.
		California's freeway- and expressway-building sped up in the 1947 with passage of the Collier-Burns Act, which laid the basis for the state's current freeway-expressway system.
		In recognition that California could not merely build its way out of traffic congestion and air pollution, Caltrans began to emphasize the more-efficient use of highways and their integration with other "modes" of transportation.

	CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION v. CITY OF SOUTH LAKE TAHOE
		Defendant City apparently concedes that the California Department of Transportation might have standing to bring an action on its own behalf by virtue of its ownership of real property which is located directly in the path of the proposed extension of Montreal Road.
		The California Attorney General has charge of all legal matters in which the state is interested except those of state agencies which are authorized by statute to employ attorneys.
		Indeed, the fact that California's conforming amendments and its amendments to the CTRPA provisions were contained in the same legislation, A.B. 1023, suggests that California might not have adopted the conforming amendments but for the language which appeared to permit CTRPA to set higher standards in the California portion of the basin.

		California Attorney General Jerry Brown said in an interview that he planned to sue the EPA next month over the "unconscionable delay."
