THE POSITION:
The Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) is seeking qualified candidates for Transportation Planner positions at either the Assistant Transportation Planner OR Associate Transportation Planner level to perform professional level work in the field of regional and urban transportation planning and related work as required. 

This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in the implementation of the brand new Measure L Transportation Ordinance and Expenditure Plan for the Stanislaus region.  This measure raised the sales tax in Stanislaus County on April 1, 2017, by one‑half cent for 25 years to improve local streets and roads, improve connectivity and reduce congestion. In this position, you will have an active role to ensure that road, transit, bike and pedestrian improvement projects and programs approved by the voters are funded and delivered.

The decision to offer the position at an Assistant Transportation Planner OR Associate Transportation Planner level will be made at the end of the recruitment process based on these considerations.
