ENCROACHMENT PERMITS

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

As directed by Governor Schwarzenegger's Executive Order S-13-09, District Encroachment Permit Offices will be closed on the first three Fridays of the month starting on August 2009 through June 2010.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

What we do:

The use of California State highways for other than normal transportation purposes may require written authorization from the Department of Transportation. As the responsible Department for protecting the public's investment in the State highway system, Caltrans reviews all requests from utility companies, developers, volunteers, nonprofit organizations, etc., desiring to conduct various activities within the right of way. Such activities could include for example: construction of highway improvements, driveway installation and maintenance, highway landscaping and graffiti removal, commercial filming, special events such as parades commemorating an event, e.g. Independence Day.

Requests for the right of way ingress are prepared on a Standard Encroachment Permit Application (TR-0100) and must be submitted to the District Encroachment Permits Office having geographical jurisdiction over the proposed encroachment site [].

For questions regarding the status of a previously submitted application, please contact the appropriate office.
