Caltrans Committee

Caltrans Liaison Committee

The CA Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is the largest state DOT in the nation. The Caltrans-UCON Liaison Committee was established to provide a forum for contractors and Caltrans to improve business relations. The committee meets quarterly at Caltrans HQ in Sacramento and actively engages with Caltrans officials at the highest levels to provide key industry input. Topics include DBE challenges for all stakeholders, safety updates, materials testing, DRB processes, payment procedures, specification updates and more.

“The Caltrans Liaison Committee is a unique opportunity that allows the construction industry to interact directly with Caltrans decision makers, resulting in a greater understanding of the challenges that lay before us and affecting positive change through collaboration.”
