The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has partnered with CPM Logistics to implement a Construction Mentor Protégé Program (CMPP) in each of the twelve Caltrans Districts. The mission of the CMPP is to assist the development of emerging construction companies so that they can compete successfully in Caltrans projects.

The CMPP supports CalSTA’s and Caltrans core four priorities of safety, equity, climate action and economic prosperity, while furthering Caltrans goals. The CMPP is also consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order No. S-11-06 to encourage new business- es, grow existing businesses, and promote small and emerging business contracting with the State of California.
