Transportation Planner - CVPDC Apply Now
Plan the future of beautiful, dynamic, growing central Virginia! Some of the nation’s best-known cultural features mark the landscape of central Virginia including the Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Appomattox Court House National Historical Park. They surround the Lynchburg metropolitan area, a full-service urban area with a vibrant downtown, quiet neighborhoods, good schools, quality healthcare, and low crime rates. The region’s six institutions of higher learning and charming villages are nestled in the Blue Ridge’s foothills and the banks of scenic, accessible rivers.
Long a railroad town, Lynchburg’s passenger rail station offers three daily departures to Washington, DC, just three hours to the northeast. The region is within an hour’s drive of the University of Virginia and within two hours of Virginia Tech and the state capital. Urban bus transit serves the metro area, as do on- and off-road bicycling networks. Downtown arteries are undergoing transformation to complete streets, making the office convenient and accessible to neighborhoods of all types.
CVPDC planners perform professional work in areas of transportation planning and administration; community development; and economic, land-use, and environmental planning. CVPDC offers an ideal environment for motivated and creative individuals to develop and expand their professional skills. The workplace flexibility of a small office provides opportunities for our planners to work in various CVPDC service areas, which include rural development, physical planning and project management, economic development, comprehensive planning, and grant administration for the region and its ten member local governments.
The Transportation Planner will play prominent roles in significant ongoing CVPDC initiatives. Central Virginia’s Safety Action Plan and Lynchburg Multimodal Plan are well underway. The CVTPO Long-Range Transportation Plan will commence in 2025. Meanwhile, US DOT has chosen Central Virginia to participate in its Thriving Communities program, which will yield the region’s first transit-oriented development plan. The successful candidate will maintain the Central Virginia Transportation Improvements Program, contribute to the Unified Planning Work Program, liaise with state and federal partners, engage with local planners, and cultivate public participation.
Candidates with any level of experience, including internships, working with a metropolitan planning organization or other regional agency are encouraged to apply. The preferred candidate will be offered a title of Planner II or Senior Planner with a starting salary between $53,458 and $74,405; however, candidates at all levels of experience and qualifications are invited to apply.
