EQUITY PLATFORM
Projects administered by Caltrans have federal aid and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) commitment goals based on the contract bid amount for federal aid projects.
• I-405 Crenshaw Auxiliary Lane DBE goal is 14%. To date, 10% of the DBE goal for the Project has been achieved.
• SR-71 South Segment did not have federal participation and therefore was not required to establish a DBE goal. The contractor claimed and achieved 0.45% in DBE participation.
At the request of Director Horvath, this report includes an update on the status of the Pacific Coast Highway Safety Enhancement Project.
Caltrans is leading all elements of the proposed transportation improvements including procurement, environmental process, outreach, final design, and construction. Caltrans, in coordination with the local jurisdictions, determined community engagement processes specific to the type of transportation improvement. This coordination is aligned with the Caltrans Race & Equity Action Plan to address systemic racial inequities that exist within the transportation sector. Throughout the construction phase, outreach efforts have consisted of sending press releases to cities, communities, media outlets, and elected officials regarding construction work. Caltrans also provided updates that were posted on the Caltrans and Metro websites. Every effort is made to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate construction impacts to communities along these corridors. Any unintended equity impacts that may arise will be responded to on a case-by-case basis by the appropriate project partners.
