Attendees are encouraged to use alternate transportation to arrive at the event. The Coalition for Responsible Transportation Priorities has joined the movement and will host a bike valet service near the Bay off the Waterfront Trail. Guests requiring assistance for access to the event can use the southwest drive of the parking lot as a vehicle dropoff point. Parking and extended use are not allowed in this area. This event is rain or shine. We hope you’ll join us for some Humboldt-style

About the Campaign:
Clean California Community Days are made possible through Governor Gavin Newsom's Clean California initiative, a sweeping $1.2 billion, multiyear clean-up effort led by Caltrans to remove trash, create thousands of jobs, and engage communities to transform public spaces. Since 2021, the program has removed 1.4 million cubic yards of trash, created 3,500 jobs, and awarded $300 million in local grants. Visit CleanCA.com to learn more about how Clean California is transforming communities and educating the public. In February, Gov. Newsom announced a new funding round for $100 million in grants for local Clean California projects. There are also a variety of career and job opportunities through Clean California. For more information on this, please visit the jobs section at tinyurl.com/CleanCAHiring.
Caltrans is also in the process of developing the Clean California Community program, in which communities from across the state can seek to earn a designation by meeting criteria centered around preventing and cleaning up litter, promoting recycling, and otherwise greening or beautifying their communities. Incentives will also be offered to encourage communities to earn this designation.
