Caltrans does have Deputy Directive 64 http://admin.dot.ca.gov/bfams/deputydirectives/Internal/DD-64.pdf titled "Accommodating Non-Motorized Travel."

As was stated by another commenter, the devils is in the implementation.

If someone knows of something else, please let me know. There is a bill in the California Assembly right now. Caltrans (Cal DOT)is considering updating their current non-motorized policy to incorporate all complete streets principles. Very glad to see this come from my Representative--Matsui! I'm probably way biased when I say this but Sacramento and Davis are really the heart of the national complete streets movement in my opinion, so it makes sense for her to introduce this bill.
