Welcome to the City of Modesto's Public Works Department!
The Public Works Department provides maintenance services for our airport, streets, traffic control systems, City buildings, parking, City vehicles and City trees. We also provide services such as garbage pick-up and recycling, green waste collection and public transit.

Our mission is to design, construct, operate and maintain public infrastructure efficiently and effectively in order to protect public safety and enhance the quality of community life. One of our main goals is to be accessible to our customers.
