California drivers will experience worse highway and road conditions due to lost diesel and gasoline tax revenue in state coffers, according to legislative analysts.

As part of continued work to study an alternative to the state fuel tax, the California Department of Transportation is seeking 150 volunteers for road user-charge research.

The California Department of Transportation is repaving a segment of a state highway using only recycled materials in a pilot project.

The California Transportation Commission recently approved $17.4 billion to support about 900 projects outlined in the State Highway Operation and Protection Program.

Caltrans will consider hiring nearly anyone for 333 maintenance jobs it is trying to fill. The transportation department is on a spree to hire enough workers to improve road upkeep as called for in a 2017 gas tax bill that in November survived an initiative that would have repealed it.
