Caltrans Trash Abatement Boat - Caltrans News Flash

It’s not what normally comes to mind when you think of Caltrans. A fleet of boats navigating the waters of the San Francisco Bay Area. The department has a fleet of four boats used to transport engineers, biologists, and maintenance crews to the seven Bay Area bridges. But when they’re not transporting Caltrans personnel, the crew that operates these boats remove litter from the water. This News Flash takes you on the water to observe their litter removal operation and show you what kinds of things they pull from the water daily.
