From the innovation of the Silicon Valley to the historic neighborhoods of Oakland, San Jose, and San Francisco, to the farmlands and vineyards throughout the region, the Bay Area offers an unparalleled collection of people, innovation, and adventure. THE ORGANIZATION(S) AND GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE With a team of over 400 employees, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) operates from its headquarters nestled in a striking and architecturally distinctive building on Beale Street. The agency supports two distinct government entities, MTC and ABAG. ABAG is a public entity created by local governments to meet their planning and research needs related to land use. ABAG also hosts a number of joint powers and administrative entities related to environmental and water resource protection, disaster resilience, energy efficiency, financial services, and technical assistance to local counties, cities, and towns.MTC is the transportation and housing, planning, coordinating, and financing agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. It functions as both the regional transportation planning agency-a state designation - and, for federal purposes, as the region's Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).

Since 1998, MTC has served as the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) responsible for administering all toll revenue from the seven state-owned bridges. BATA has an "AA" credit rating and utilizes this to issue toll revenue bonds to finance bridge, highway, and transit construction projects. All MTC employees are designated Disaster Service Workers through state and local law (California Government Code Section 3100-3109). Employees are required to complete all Disaster Service Worker-related training as assigned, and to return to work as ordered in the event of an emergency.The ideal candidate will be a creative, innovative, organized, and diplomatic leader.

THE SECTIONS: HOUSING AND ENERGY Like other metropolitan areas around the country, the Bay Area must rise to the challenge of successfully addressing its residents' housing, mobility, and environmental sustainability needs - now and in the future.
