Clean Air Vehicle Decals - California DMV
If you are considering purchasing a used clean air vehicle to participate in the CAV decal program and the VIN is not on the list, please call 1-800-777-0133 to determine the vehicle’s eligibility.
If you purchased your vehicle on or after January 1, 2018, a CAV decal cannot be issued to you if you have received a consumer rebate through the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP), unless you meet specified gross annual income requirements. If your gross annual income is above specified thresholds, you may have to choose between a CAV decal and a CVRP rebate.

If your new vehicle was issued CAV decals through the dealership, your income level is above the requirement to participate in both the CAV and rebate programs, and you choose the rebate option, mail the CAV decals with a completed Statement of Facts (REG 256) to:

Carefully peel the decals from the backing material and affix them to your vehicle:

 Large decals: Place one decal on each side of the vehicle, on the rear quarter panels behind the wheel wells, with the state seal pointed up. 

 Small decals: Place on the right and left side of front bumper, with the state seal pointed up. 

Do not attempt to remove or reposition CAV decals after application. Doing so will destroy the decals.
Shorter lines, faster service coming to DMV as services move online | Governor of California
“The DMV is becoming a mobile-first operation, and simple renewals are easy self-help transactions that don’t require an office visit. Just go online. It will save you time, and it will save time for the Californians in our offices who need to be there. We have also shortened the time it takes to receive vehicle stickers and driver’s licenses. In most cases, you’ll have your item in less than two weeks.”
Bigger picture
The DMV has more than doubled the number of online services, from 20 in 2019 to 50 today. There are 287 DMV Kiosks available statewide and thousands of business partners throughout the state. Many transactions that previously required an office visit can also be started online and completed with the assistance of a virtual agent. Californians completed more than 27 million online transactions in 2023, compared to 18.7 million in 2019.
The expansion of online services is just one example of the DMV’s digital transformation under the Newsom Administration and Director Gordon’s leadership. The DMV also cut transaction times by two-thirds, removed obstacles so staff can process transactions more quickly, developed a paperless renewal notifications program and empowered customers with the tools they need for a smooth experience if they do need to visit an office.
Additionally, the new MyDMV account allows for easy renewal of driver’s licenses and status checks, and also offers choices on how to receive important DMV information – including making it easier to sign up for paperless renewal notices. MyDMV offers an easier and more convenient process for updating an address, changing the name on your driver’s license, and ordering a replacement driver’s license.
MyDMV offers a “Garage” feature that allows customers to park and manage all vehicle and boat information, renew registration, and check processing status in one convenient place.

How Will You Stack Up Against Other CalPERS Retirees? - CalPERS PERSpective
The longer you work, the higher your pension benefit will be generally speaking. Let’s look at some numbers:

The number of years that all retirees worked was 20.2 years. Overall, 50% of all retirees worked 20 or more years before they retired.
Specifically, miscellaneous retirees (those not involved with law enforcement, fire suppression, or the protection of public safety) averaged 20.1 years, while safety retirees worked 23.4 years before they retired.
State members averaged 23 years of service, school members 17.6 years of service, and public agency members averaged 21.2 years of service.

At What Age Do Most Members Retire?
The earlier you retire, the longer you will likely enjoy your retirement benefits, but your monthly payment may be lower. The later you retire, the higher your monthly payment might be, but your retirement period may be shorter.
Let’s crunch some numbers:

The average age for all CalPERS retirees at retirement was 58.9 years. However, this average varies depending on the type of employer.

The average age at retirement for state retirees was 59.7, school retirees was 61.6, while the average for public agency retirees was 58.8.

Where Do CalPERS Retirees Mainly Live?
Another consideration of retirement is where you decide to live. You might want to stay in the same place, move to a different city or state, or even relocate to another country. Check out what most CalPERS retirees choose:

The majority (81.2%) of CalPERS retirees (556,421) live here in the golden state. This is followed by
Arizona (17,571)
Nevada (14,021)
Oregon (12,471), and
Texas (11,508)

More than 18% of CalPERS retirees live in other states, and fewer than 1% live internationally.
How Can You Prepare?
By comparing yourself to the CalPERS facts you can get a better understanding of how you stand in relation to other retirees and what options you have before you retire.

FAQ's
Additionally, visit the parks and talk to SPPOs about what they do; we recommend you contact a Recruiter to schedule a ride-along to experience what State Park Rangers and Lifeguards do on a daily basis. Consider various ride-alongs at one reservoir (high law enforcement), one coastal park, and one park of your choice, or historic park.  If possible, consider working as a seasonal Park Aide for a great way to learn about parks and the department. 17. Can I get a ride-along with an officer?Yes. For those competing for a cadet assignment, it is highly recommended to schedule multiple ride-alongs prior to the oral interview portion of the selection/hiring process. Contact the Recruitment Office at Recruiting@parks.ca.gov to schedule a ride-along.  Be sure to include your contact information, including your phone number, and the geographic location you are interested in participating. 18. Can you transfer throughout the State?Yes. However, Cadets are required to remain at their first duty assignment in a park unit for one year, and within the initial Park District for two years. (At the end of the first year, you may request an assignment at another park unit within the district) You can transfer when vacant positions are advertised.19. What are the hours?SPPOs work a minimum of 40 hours a week. Shifts are assigned at each location. Typical work weeks are either five - 8 hour days or four - 10 hour days.  Work hours and days (shifts) are based on seniority at the work location and not on the total years of state service. Typically SPPOs bid for a shift assignment twice a year at their work location. Hours of shifts and work days vary from location to location. Many SPPOs work weekends and holidays and depending on enforcement emergencies, may be required to work overtime.20. What are the opportunities of promotions?Opportunities to promote are very good. SPPOs are eligible to take the Supervising State Park Peace Officer promotional exam after 2 years of service as a SPPO.21. Do you get your own state vehicle?Typically SPPOs drive Code-3 patrol vehicles that are shared between co-workers. There are assignments when a vehicle is assigned and not shared, such as K-9.
