Effective July 1, 2013, pursuant to the Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 2012, this department is moving from the Business, Transportation, and Housing Agency to this new Agency (Transportation).

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) ensures the safe, convenient, and efficient transportation of people and goods across the state highway system and provides the highest level of safety and security to the facilities and employees of the State of California.

Since department programs drive the need for infrastructure investment, each department has a related capital outlay program to support this need. For the specifics on CHP's Capital Outlay Program see "Infrastructure Overview."
