Will Consider Transportation Planner

Do you want to be part of a Team that can make a difference? Transportation helps strengthen the local economy, improve public health, promote social equity, and protect the environment.

You will help implement transportation projects and programs that will modernize California’s intercity, commuter, and urban rail systems, and bus and ferry transit systems, to significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, vehicle miles traveled, and congestion.

The Division of Local Assistance (DLA), Office of Project Development, Management and Delivery (PDMD) are at the forefront of transforming transportation by helping implement Caltrans’ new Caltrans 2020-2024 Strategic Plan. As an Associate Transportation Planner, you will develop, administer, evaluate, and monitor transportation programs and projects across the state. You will also collaborate with the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA), California Air Resources Board (CARB), the California Transportation Commission (CTC), as well as regional transportation agencies to help Caltrans build and promote a transportation network that respects the environment and serves all Californians.
