Governor Newsom's Clean California initiative celebrates 100 community designations across the Golden State, leading the way for safer and cleaner environments
Initiative has funded 317 projects statewide and removed more than 3.8 million cubic yards of litter from highways and public spaces
What you need to know: California celebrates an important milestone as 100 communities earn the Clean California designation through the state's ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and civic pride by cleaning state roads, beautifying communities statewide, and creating jobs.
SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today celebrates the milestone of 100 communities and organizations across the Golden State having earned the prestigious Clean California Community designation. This statewide effort led by Caltrans encourages local engagement from Californians to make communities cleaner, safer, and more sustainable.
Since July 2021, Clean California has funded 317 projects statewide, and Caltrans and its local partners have removed more than 3.8 million cubic yards of litter from highways and public spaces – the equivalent of filling about 180,000 residential garbage trucks with debris and trash. Under Governor Newsom's leadership the program is also supporting California's long-term goals aimed at climate resilience, economic equity and public safety.
Across California, communities are stepping up to protect the places they call home – creating cleaner neighborhoods, greener public spaces, and a healthier environment for future generations. This work reflects the shared pride Californians have in building a cleaner, more beautiful state for all.

"The first 100 Clean California designees are showing what's possible when communities across the state commit to cleaner, healthier public spaces," said California State Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin. "Under Governor Newsom's leadership, CalSTA and Caltrans encourage all communities to join this momentum and take the pledge for a cleaner California."
"Unsurprisingly these 100 communities have also led the way by organizing dozens of cleanup events recently during Earth Week and throughout the year," said Caltrans Director Dina El-Tawansy. "The leadership exemplified by these 100 communities and their residents and local business are proof positive that when each of us commits to making long-term changes in our behavior, we can be part of the solution that makes our state and even better place to live."
"Our city has made great efforts to revitalize our community and make Pasadena a leading litter-free city in California. We are very honored to have received the Clean California Community designation," said Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo. "This recognition reflects the collaborative efforts of our residents, staff and our community partners who are dedicated to creating a cleaner, safer and healthier community."
