Advancing Community Engagement (ACE)
Overview
The Advancing Community Engagement (ACE) office develops guidance, tools, and training for conducting equitable engagement for Caltrans Plans and Projects. ACE works to breakdown silos from planning to project delivery to target early, continuous, and meaningful engagement that will be incorporated into the transportation planning and project development processes.
ACE consists of three branches that coordinate and collaborate with Caltrans’ Districts and Divisions and external partners to produce comprehensive guidance, tools, and trainings to conduct equitable and inclusive external engagement.
