Due to the passage of huge statewide infrastructure bonds, the reconstruction of California’s roads is underway. If your business provides services from Asphalt to Porta-Potties; from backhoes to fencing; from catering to architectural and engineering services, you need to prepare yourself and your business to take advantage of this great opportunity.

The California Construction Contracting Program is a partnership between Caltrans, the California Community College’s Economic and Workforce Development Program and the California Small Business Development Center program.
