Transforming Transportation: Jacobs Supports Caltrans Projects in Los Angeles

With Los Angeles County accounting for 23% of California's annual vehicle miles traveled, the region’s transportation infrastructure faces constant pressure from its high demand. To help meet these challenges, the California Department of Transportation’s District 7 has awarded Jacobs two new contracts focused on enhancing mobility and supporting community wellbeing across Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Through an on-call contract, Jacobs will provide full construction management services for a range of projects involving freeways, highways, roads, bridges and tunnels. These efforts aim to improve traffic flow, increase safety and modernize infrastructure for communities in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, and surrounding areas.

Under a second contract, Jacobs will deliver electrical inspection services across key traffic signal systems, street lighting, ramp metering and communications infrastructure.

“Electrical systems are often the unsung heroes of modern, efficient transportation infrastructure,” explains Jacobs Transportation Market Growth Director – California Hany Haroun. ” Our skilled inspectors will uphold the highest standards for safety and performance, helping reduce congestion and enhance road safety across the region.”

Both projects align with Caltrans’ long-term vision for a thriving, connected California. . Jacobs brings decades of experience shaping infrastructure across the state, including work with multiple Caltrans districts.

“With these new contracts with Caltrans District 7, Jacobs continues our rich history making an impact on critical infrastructure in California,” adds Hany. “We look forward to enhancing the transportation network to keep Angelenos connected,  safe and on the move – and transforming our community for the better.”
