  • 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.

  • Community Overview
    Community Overview HISTORICAL OVERVIEW In 1869, William Mendenhall laid out and developed a new town when the first train went through the valley. The only direct route from San Francisco to the gold fields and Sacramento went through this area. Mendenhall named this town in memory of his good friend, Robert Livermore, who had owned a 20,000 acre land grant called Rancho Las Positas in this area. In the 1870s, Livermore was a growing town with a variety of immigrant groups. By the time Livermore was incorporated on April 1, 1876, it was a traditional western town with wooden sidewalks and horse-drawn buggies. By the 1880s the richness of the valley was revealed with cattle, sheep and horses grazing the hills. Livermore hay and grain were world renowned and shipped to Europe. Grape cuttings were planted in the gravelly sand and the local wine industry was born. As Livermore flourished, Livermore College, a private high school, was established. Livermore Union High School became the first Joint Union High School in the State of California. In 1902, Livermore became the first town in California to establish a free municipal public library. The Carnegie Library, designed by William H. Weeks, opened in 1911. After the turn of the century, Alameda County founded a hospital for the treatment of tuberculosis, and the federal government established the Veterans’ Hospital. The first Livermore Rodeo was held to benefit the Red Cross during World War I, and the City still holds a rodeo every June. In the 1950s the University of California Radiation Laboratory (now Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) was established on the site of the World War II Naval Training Station at East Avenue and Greenville Road.
