The County Public Works Agency (PWA) maintains infrastructure including roads, bridges, flood control channels, and vehicles. It provides landscape, streetscape, and flood control services. Key goals are to minimize environmental impacts, ensure flood protection, optimize infrastructure lifespan and maintenance, ensure housing development adheres to codes, and maximize mobility through road maintenance. Performance is measured through metrics like vegetation planting, debris diversion, and numbers of projects completed.

1. The County’s unincorporated area infrastructure, which includes 471 centerline miles of roadway with 153 traffic signals, and
561 miles of flood control works; operates and maintains 24 pump stations and the six bridges that span the Oakland-Alameda
estuary; and maintains 303 PWA-owned vehicles and 123 vehicles for other agencies and cities. Maintenance and Operations
services include providing landscape, streetscape, and flood control services for the citizens of Alameda County.
