With a heat advisory issued in Los Angeles, LA Animal Services would like to remind pet owners that too much heat can be extremely dangerous or even fatal for our pets. When it’s too hot for you, it’s even hotter for our pets.

A tribute with a purpose: the new Highway 46 alignment near Cholame is now the James Dean Memorial Highway—honoring Dean, 71 years since his crash, and all lives impacted along this corridor. A powerful reminder that safety upgrades save lives.

A study found 61 pieces of litter exists per person in CA. This means we are so close to reaching #ZeroLitter. Do your part by not replacing all the trash Caltrans crews & volunteers remove, like here by I-10 Garvey Ave exit in El Monte. #CleanCA @CAgovernor @CA_Trans_Agency

Caltrans cleaned this encampment with the help of our local partners by I-5 near 17th St in Santa Ana. 20 cubic yards of trash & debris was cleared, which could fill 8 full-sized pick-up trucks!

Hitting a highway guardrail reduces the probability of fatal and severe injuries by about half. Our maintenance crews are hard at work landscaping 2,600 miles of roadway this summer.
Remember to move over and slow down. piped.video/l__5R42Q2Y4
