Grant Program for Capital Improvements:

Yuba County will be utilizing grant money for rehabilitating 12.6 miles of county roads using Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC). This Grant Program is sponsored by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle).

The benefits of Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) include:

RAC utilizes ground rubber from recycled auto and light truck tires which keeps them out of our landfills.
2 inches of RAC has the same strength as 4 inches of conventional asphalt.
RAC can lower maintenance costs because when designed and constructed properly, it lasts up to 50% longer and is better at resisting cracking.
RAC has better skid resistance.
RAC stays darker, making a better contrast for traffic markings.
Streets constructed of RAC have a lower noise level from traffic.

Community Clean-Up Event:

Yuba County's 17th Annual Coastal Cleanup Event
will be on Saturday, September 16, 2017 9am-noon
