It's a nit, I know, but there's no such entity as CADOT. It's Caltrans (which you need to know if you're going to do a Google search, for example).
My sense of it is that it's a complete reversion. A Google search on Caltrans metric provides the following link to the relevant page: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/oppd/metric/metricpg.htm.
