  • LIVERMORE AMADOR VALLEY TRANSIT AUTHORITY Unique
    LIVERMORE AMADOR VALLEY TRANSIT AUTHORITY Unique Opportunity – Director of Operations and Innovation Northern California’s Tri-Valley: Livermore, Pleasanton and Dublin, CA How would you like to work for a progressive transit agency in the beautiful California Bay Area? The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority is proud to advertise this position of Director of Operations and Innovation. The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority provides bus service for Northern California’s Tri-Valley, connecting communities while easing congestion, reducing pollution, and making the region a better place to live. The agency is also actively engaged in regional rail planning and project delivery, providing executive and administrative support to the recently organized Tri-Valley – San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority (Valley Link). In the Tri-Valley, thousands ride transit daily – with commute volumes from the Tri-Valley to San Francisco, Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties increasing 66% since 2007. With the Tri-Valley growing at a faster rate than the Bay Area as a whole, near-future transportation investments are crucial and will yield significant economic benefits for the entire mega-region. The Organization Created by a joint powers agreement in 1985, the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) provides area-wide transit services to the cities of Livermore (population 86,870), Pleasanton (population 69,829), and Dublin (population 49,890), and unincorporated areas of Alameda County. This area is located in eastern Alameda County, which is part of the greater San Francisco Bay Area. The LAVTA Board of Directors consists of two elected officials from each city and one member of the County Board of Supervisors.
