Executive Summary:
The Department of Transportation and Public Works is committed to providing quality transportation and public works services in a responsive and professional manner to benefit residents and visitors to Sonoma County.

Discussion:
National Public Works Week was instituted as a public education campaign by the American Public Works Association in 1960, calling attention to the importance of public works in community life. This week’s recognition seeks to enhance the prestige of these often-unsung heroes of our society, the professionals who serve the public good every day with steadfast dedication. This year the dedication of public works staff was prominent during the February 2019 Sonoma County Floods when road maintenance, transit, refuse, engineering, construction, and support staff where among first on scene and worked parallel with first responders. Transit buses where instrumental in evacuations; the Sonoma County-Charles Schulz Airport was used to fly reconnaissance operations; Road Maintenance staff cleared debris from roads; Refuse, Engineering, Construction, and support staff assisted in the Emergency Operations Center, and the flood debris removal efforts.
