Director's Policy on Complete Streets [DP-37] (PDF)
Caltrans released a new Director's Policy on Complete Streets (DP-37) now requires all new projects funded or overseen by Caltrans to complete streets features that provide safe and accessible options for people walking, biking, and riding transit or passenger rail. Complete streets offer several benefits, including enhancing safety and creating more sustainable transportation options to decrease dependence on driving and to improve public health by encouraging active transportation like walking and biking.
