Wikipedia description:

The California Department of Transportation, branded as Caltrans, is an executive department of the U.S. state of California. Headquartered in Sacramento, it is part of the cabinet-level California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA). Among its duties, Caltrans manages the state's highway system, which includes the California Freeway and Expressway System, supports public transportation systems throughout the state, and provides funding and oversight for three state-supported Amtrak intercity rail routes (Capitol Corridor, Pacific Surfliner and Gold Runner) which are collectively branded as Amtrak California. Caltrans began operations in 1973, succeeding a series of state agencies that date back to the establishment of the California Bureau of Highways in 1895. In 2015, Caltrans released a new mission statement: "Provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system to enhance California's economy and livability."
