Update: Caltrans DLA Lean Six Sigma Process Improvement – Your Assistance is Needed

Update: August 8, 2023

Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) Chapter 6: Environmental Procedures

The Division of Local Assistance (DLA) has embarked on a project to reduce Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) Form to evaluate and reduce processing errors, during summer and fall of 2023. The DLA team has solicited assistance from local public agencies or consulting firms who have completed the PES Form to help identify opportunities to streamline and improve the process. An update of the primary metrics have shifted from ‘processing time’ to focus on ‘reducing processing errors’.

As of August 8th, the partnership team is at capacity. A volunteer waitlist is open throughout the lifecycle of the project. If you would like to request more information about this project, please email DLA project lead Sammantha Soto or contact by phone at (279) 599-3198.

Project run date is July 31, 2023 through December 20, 2023.
