About this job
JOB DESCRIPTION
Are you a multimodal transportation professional with a passion for transportation equity and community partnerships? Do you want to flip the script on how transportation projects are planned, prioritized, and implemented? Does your vision of a sustainable future demand the inclusion of diverse people and places? The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) invites you to apply for the Associate Analyst opening on our Transportation Team!
SACOG, in partnership with the non-profit Civic Thread, has kicked off its Mobility Zones program to co-create clean, shared, and active communities across the six-county region. This ambitious project embraces equity at every step, empowering community leaders to prioritize transportation projects for future discretionary funding. SACOG is also working with other regional transportation agencies to implement toll lanes in the Sacramento region, including through the recent creation of the Capital Area Regional Tolling Authority. A robust toll lane network is essential to meet the region?s greenhouse gas reduction target and increase transportation funding. SACOG is seeking qualified candidates to support the Mobility Zones and tolling programs.
The Associate Analyst will report to the Principal Transportation Planner, who oversees both the Mobility Zones and tolling programs. The position will engage a team of multidisciplinary, professional staff from across the agency and interact regularly with the public; community leaders; executive management; the SACOG board of directors; and staff from SACOG?s membership, partner government agencies and other organizations throughout the region.
Why join SACOG?
Teamwork:
We work towards a shared vision while cultivating a workplace of collaboration, trust, and transparency. We create space for individual strengths and experiences to achieve more, together.
Community:
We intentionally build an inclusive community where people can be themselves, share ideas, and pursue solutions. Together, we address challenges that are too big for any one person or group to solve on their own.
Dedication:
We have the courage to tackle new challenges head on. We are driven by the opportunity to leave a lasting, positive impact on the region. We are committed to quality performance as we accomplish the agency?s goals.
Innovation:
We strive for continuous improvement by reimagining the work and the way we do it. We use data and input to measure our progress, extract new insights, and elevate our work. This allows us to pave new paths into the future.
Telework
This position is hybrid; the selected candidate will be required to work in-person at least two days a week, attend monthly and quarterly in-person staff meetings, and be available for in-person community engagement as part of the Mobility Zones and tolling programs. The telework schedule may be revisited after the probationary period. Employees are required to live within 200 miles of Sacramento so that they can attend in-person meetings.
We support telework because it:
· Enhances employee productivity, satisfaction, and ability to collaborate.
· Improves recruitment and retention
· Reduces greenhouse gas emission, vehicle miles travels (VMT), traffic and parking congestion, and air pollution
Diversity at SACOG
SACOG values diversity and believes that a range of backgrounds brings a variety of ideas, perspectives and experiences that contribute to an innovative and collaborative environment in which talents are fully utilized, uniqueness is valued, and SACOG?s objectives are met. SACOG is committed to building a culturally diverse workplace. We welcome individuals of all backgrounds, orientations, and identities.
