May 19 - May 25, 2024

The Transportation Agency for Monterey County adopted a proclamation declaring the week of May 19-25 as National Public Works Week, joining others from around California and the United Sates, to pay tribute to public works planners, engineers, managers, administrative staff, and operators in recognition of the substantial contributions they make to our community’s health, safety, and quality of life.

The theme for the 2024 National Public Works Week is "Advancing Quality of Life for All". This year's theme shines a spotlight on the way public works professionals advance our quality of life, whether as a first responder to an electricity outage, regular waste pickup, or a myriad of other ways they serve their communities.

Public works professionals advance the quality of life by providing an infrastructure of services in transportation, water, wastewater, and stormwater treatment, public buildings and spaces, parks and grounds, emergency management and first response, solid waste, and right-of-way management. They make our communities dynamic places to live and work.
