ENCROACHMENT PERMITS
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
and must be submitted to the district
having geographical jurisdiction of the proposed encroachment site
[
].
Applications are also available from each of the 12 Districts.
