An on-the-job serious injury is any work-related injury or illness resulting in a fatality, inpatient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye. Annual traffic safety targets are presented as not-to-exceed targets. Data is provisional and subject to change. The traffic collision data used for these performance objectives will not be final until the third quarter of calendar year 2024.

Goal: Cultivate Excellence

In alignment with Caltrans mission, vision, and goals, the Equal Employment Opportunity Program along with our partners at Cooperative Personnel Services Human Resources, are excited to provide online Implicit Bias training. This training is designed to raise awareness, improve decision-making, and help avoid unintended outcomes at Caltrans. The training will also offer steps to prevent implicit biases from negatively affecting workplace decisions and conduct. 

Increase the percentage of employees who take Implicit Bias training for the year, to 90%.

The location-based needs provides information related to bicycle, sidewalk, and crossing needs. Initially the projected due date for this effort was March 2022 however statewide data was not available which caused delays. The updated timeline is 2024.

Goal: Lead Climate Action

Pursuant to the Governor’s Executive Order (EO) B-16-12, state departments are required to increase the number of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs)  within their state fleet. As the steward of California’s state highway system, Caltrans serves an important and unique role in the state’s efforts to increase ZEVs on California’s roadways. In coordination with Caltrans Divisions and Districts, other state agencies, and external partners, the Department's ZEV strategy includes transitioning the Caltrans vehicle fleet, including locomotives, to ZEVs.

Increase the percentage of Caltrans fleet that are Zero-Emission Vehicles, to 12% by June 2024.

Goal: Advance Equity and Livability in all Communities

Caltrans is in the process of developing several data tools that will help us gauge our success toward equity. An Accessibility Score and Engagement Tool are currently under development. Until they are developed and a baseline is established, there is no data to report. Once these tools are developed we will be reporting on those data sets. Initially these tools had projected completion dates between March and June 2022 however pending agreements, vendor procurements, and resource issues caused delays. The updated timeline for these tools is July 2024.
 
Caltrans completed the Equity Index tool in March 2024. The tool is a spatial screening tool designed to identify transportation-based priority populations at the Census block level. The Equity Index tool integrates transportation and socioeconomic indicators into three screens. All screens reflect low-income status and Tribal land status.
