Message from the commissioner: Transportation Department is hiring

Commissioner Gina Fiandaca and the Transportation Department are looking for a diverse set of passionate, dedicated, and experienced people.

Dear Transportation Professional,

The City of Boston is teeming each day with residents, commuters, students, and visitors heading to work, universities, restaurants and bars, museums and historic sites, Fenway Park, the TD Banknorth Garden, and a myriad of entertainment venues. Major companies are locating their headquarters here, more than 15 million square feet of development is taking place in the popular Seaport District alone, and more than 53,000 new housing units are planned by 2030.

It’s an exciting time to be involved in transportation in Boston. Hundreds of thousands of people are moving around the City each day by foot, bike, private automobile, and transit, including the MBTA, the country’s first public transit system. The Boston Transportation Department is tasked with ensuring that all of these people get to their destinations in a safe, reliable and equitable manner.

BTD team members are working to advance the 58 policies and programs identified for implementation in Go Boston 2030, the City of Boston’s comprehensive transportation plan. Many of these items are complete or underway. Boston is leading the way nationwide with Automated Vehicle testing protocols. Strategically located protected bike lanes are being constructed, and our bike share network is expanding. We’ve launched Neighborhood Slow Streets, our residential traffic calming program. In partnership with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, we’re creating designated bus lanes on busy routes. We’ve introduced local drivers to Park Boston, our parking payment app, and Drive Boston, our shared vehicle program. Planning is underway to improve circulation with adaptive traffic signals. These initiatives and others represent a commitment to invest in a multi-modal transportation system that will benefit all users for many years to come.

I invite you to consider joining our team as we strive to refine Boston’s transportation system and meet our mobility goals. We look forward to discussing with you the opportunities available at BTD.

Sincerely,

Gina N. Fiandaca, Commissioner
Boston Transportation Department
