Project Description

Don’t Trash Tuolumne Marketing Campaign

June 12, 2025

Green DOT Transportation Solutions collaborated with the Tuolumne County Department of Public Works to develop the “Don’t Trash Tuolumne Cleanup and Encouragement Campaign.” Funded by a grant from the Caltrans Clean California Local Grant Program, this initiative aims to combat litter and promote community-wide environmental stewardship in Tuolumne County, a gateway to Yosemite National Park.

To support outreach and engagement, Green DOT designed and launched a dedicated campaign website using Squarespace. The website served as a hub for campaign information, event details, and educational resources, ensuring easy access for residents and visitors alike. It also provided an interactive platform for community members to learn about proper waste disposal, sign up for cleanup events, and track progress in keeping Tuolumne County clean.

Green DOT facilitated the campaign goal through organizing a countywide marketing campaign, hosting a mascot design competition for local K-12 schools, and coordinating community cleanup events to remove waste and debris. The mascot design competition engaged students in creating a symbol for the campaign, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility among the youth. With an impressive 230 entries submitted, the competition showcased the community’s enthusiasm for the initiative. The winning design became central to the marketing efforts, appearing on educational materials and promotional items distributed throughout the county.

In addition to these efforts, Green DOT developed educational resources to guide both residents and visitors on proper waste disposal practices, aiming to prevent future littering and illegal dumping. Community involvement was further encouraged through cleanup events, where participants not only removed existing litter but also contributed valuable data on current waste management challenges. This data collection is instrumental in identifying and addressing illegal dumping sites, aligning with the shared goal of keeping Tuolumne County clean, safe, and beautiful.

Through these comprehensive strategies, the “Don’t Trash Tuolumne Cleanup and Encouragement Campaign” strives to instill long-term environmentally conscious behaviors, ensuring the preservation of Tuolumne County’s natural beauty for future generations.

 

Redwood Coast Transit Authority – On-Call Program Management

June 12, 2025

The Redwood Coast Transit Authority (RCTA) selected Green DOT Transportation Solutions to serve as its on-call program manager, guiding two major Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) projects: (1) the Williams Drive Maintenance & Operations Facility Electric Bus Charging Infrastructure and (2) the new Downtown Crescent City Transit Center. Under this five-year agreement Green DOT provides full-cycle capital project support, including project controls, schedule and budget tracking, procurement oversight, risk analysis, and monthly board reporting, to ensure both projects move from concept through construction in compliance with state grant requirements.

Our team leads consultant procurements, coordinates environmental documentation, manages design contracts, reviews invoices, and maintains RCTA’s grant and financial records. A web-based program-management dashboard (Smartsheet) delivers real-time cost, cash-flow, and schedule analytics, giving RCTA early warning of variances and allowing rapid recovery plans. The contract began April 30 2024 and extends through April 30 2029, aligning with the anticipated completion and close-out of both capital projects.

On-Call Planning Services – Tehama County Transportation Commission

June 12, 2025

Since 2018 Green DOT has served as Tehama County Transportation Commission’s (TCTC) “extension of staff,” delivering everything the agency might request under Tuolumne County’s proposed on-call scope. Tasks have ranged from preparing the county’s Regional Transportation Plan and RTIP, to corridor safety studies (South Avenue), to day-to-day engineering advice and grant development that has already secured two Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning grants and more than $88 million in external funding. Our team routinely responds to short-notice assignments, chairs TAC meetings, drafts staff reports, develops traffic control warrant analyses, and prepares cost estimates and PSRs—mirroring the work orders anticipated by TCTC.

In partnership with TCTC, Green DOT has diligently improved transportation planning, addressed infrastructure needs, and secured critical funding for Tehama County and its communities.

2025 Tehama County Regional Transportation Plan (RTP): Green DOT updated the 2019 Tehama County Regional Transportation Plan, aligning it with the 2024 Regional Transportation Plan Guidelines. This update aimed to identify transportation infrastructure requirements in Tehama County through 2038, categorizing projects into short-term (0-10 years) and long-term (11-20 years) priorities. Green DOT led the development of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) through data analysis, assessing transportation needs, and identifying priority projects that align with the county, state, and federal goals.

South Ave Study: Teaming up with W-Trans, Green DOT assessed South Avenue’s long-term plan, a crucial route from Interstate 5 to Highway 99. South Avenue links the City of Corning in Tehama County to State Highway 99 and plays a vital role in commuting and freight movement, connecting to Chico in Butte County.

Project Development and Grants: Green DOT supported TCTC and the City of Tehama in project development and secured two Caltrans Sustainable Communities grants under the on-call contract. Notably, one grant, directed towards the City of Tehama Community Transportation Plan, secured an $88,087 award.

Green DOT successfully designed these platforms and posts to align with the Commission’s communication objectives and to resonate with the regions diverse community.

Eureka Broadway Multimodal Transportation Corridor Plan

June 12, 2025

Green DOT, in collaboration with GHD, was chosen by the Humboldt County Association of Governments to be a vital part of the project team entrusted with the development of the Eureka Broadway Multimodal Transportation Corridor Plan. This comprehensive plan aimed to alleviate congestion along a 3.25-mile stretch of US Highway 101/Broadway, which stands as the most heavily traversed route within the City of Eureka. Its primary objective was to enhance transportation options for commuters in this corridor.

Within this project, Green DOT assumed the pivotal role of conducting an exhaustive analysis of the existing conditions in the project area. Employing a combination of document review, remote assessment, and on-site data collection, Green DOT meticulously compiled an inventory of the active transportation infrastructure currently in place along Broadway in Eureka. This effort resulted in the creation of existing conditions maps and GIS data, which in turn served as essential tools for identifying the infrastructure enhancements necessary for the corridor’s improvement.

Mission Oaks Wayfinding Strategy

June 12, 2025

Green DOT partnered with MERJE Design to create a wayfinding strategy for the Mission Oaks Recreation and Park District in unincorporated Sacramento County. The Mission Oaks district covers 13 park facilities in the towns of Carmichael and Arden-Arcade east of the City of Sacramento. Green DOT compiled a digital GIS sign inventory, mapping every existing sign in the Mission Oaks district using the Trimble TerraFlex geolocating inventory and mapping solution. The resulting sign inventory dataset was organized into a web mapping ArcGIS Online application allowing the client to easily access information on existing park signs including the exact location, sign type, mounting type, condition, dimensions, and a photo of each existing sign for each data point on the web map. Additionally, Green DOT completed an existing conditions inventory technical memo as a first step for the redesign and implementation of a streamlined signage plan for the Mission Oaks district.
