The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) works long hours, all days of the year, and in any weather conditions, to keep people moving. Caltrans is responsible for highway safety and maintenance, such as road repair, emergency response, snow removal, and many other important duties. El Dorado County experiences high volumes of traffic that often require Caltrans to respond for safety concerns. Road work is inherently dangerous, so Caltrans makes safety a priority. The geography of El Dorado County is difficult to navigate, so Caltrans maintained highways are essential for safe and efficient travel.
Caltrans has several management districts, and El Dorado County resides in Caltrans District 3 (Marysville/Sacramento). Caltrans District 3 includes the following California counties: Butte, Colusa, El Dorado, Glenn, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sierra, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba. Public information is available from Caltrans District 3, and Caltrans road information is available at roads.dot.ca.gov. Caltrans can be contacted directly, or residents can submit a non-emergency customer service request. There are also job opportunities to work for Caltrans.
