  • Executive Consultant for Rail Planning and Project Delivery (Livermore, California)
    LIVERMORE AMADOR VALLEY TRANST AUTHORITY Unique Opportunity – Executive Consultant for Rail Planning and Project Delivery (Livermore, California) 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 Executive Consultant position for regional rail planning and project delivery in Livermore, California. The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority provides bus service for the Tri-Valley area, 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, with BART and ACE Rail currently providing service to the area. 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 Dublin (population 49,890), Livermore (population 86,870), and Pleasanton (population 69,829) and unincorporated areas of Alameda County. This area is located in East Alameda, which is part of the metropolitan area of San Francisco. The LAVTA Board of Directors consists of two elected officials from each city and one member of the County Board of Supervisors. LAVTA is currently supported by a $15.8 million budget and 15 full-time employees.
