SACRAMENTO – Safety is the No. 1 priority for Caltrans, and new vans stocked with supplies are hitting the road to ensure workers have the gear they need to do their job safely.

The vans are stocked with personal protection equipment like hard hats, vests, safety glasses, gloves and other workwear.
