2720 Dept of the California Highway Patrol

The California Highway Patrol's (CHP's) mission is to ensure the safe, convenient, and efficient transportation of people and goods across the state's highway system and to provide 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."
