🔥 In the latest issue of CT News: The Hoff Fire last summer could have been worse were it not for a roadside clearance project undertaken by the Caltrans District 1 crew. California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) LNU Public Information Officer Jason Clay said, “Had this proactive work not taken place, there would have been more fuel to feed the fire and it would have had more potential to grow much greater in size.” 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝘀 is the VMP lead and a senior environmental scientist for Environmental Planning. She said the work requires collaboration between interagency partners like CAL FIRE, area stakeholders and Caltrans units including Maintenance, Environmental and Right of Way, to name just a few. “We use a multistep process and information from our field maintenance staff to determine priority areas for fuels reduction,” Nichols said. “We’re hoping to include most of the district, but we do have those focus points that are most vulnerable to wildfire and necessary for evacuation.” It's heartening to see the dedication and coordination involved in this important effort to protect California's communities from the threat of wildfires.

Caltrans and California take bicycling seriously. And we’re getting noticed for it. According to the latest rankings by the League of American Bicyclists, California is now the fourth most “bike-friendly” state in the U.S., based on several criteria. These include a decrease in car vs. bike crashes, the use of protected bike lanes and other bike-safety infrastructure and sponsoring public bike safety conferences throughout the state.
