Throughout 2023, a variety of new positions and job postings were made available within traffic departments and related agencies across the United States. These roles spanned city, county, and state levels, encompassing positions like Traffic Division jobs, Traffic Control Officers, and specialized Department of Transportation roles[1][3][7]. Major job titles included:
- Police Officer, Security Guard, and Crossing Guard within local traffic divisions[1]
- Assistant Road Superintendent, Capital Project Manager, Equipment Operator, Construction Inspector (Right of Way), Crew Worker (Paving), and Supervisors with Departments of Transportation[3]
- Traffic Control Officers primarily tasked with managing airport vehicular and pedestrian flows, particularly at large transport hubs like Reagan National Airport and Dulles International Airport[7]
These roles emphasized both public safety and the maintenance of smooth traffic flow, often requiring operational, inspection, and supervisory responsibilities. Job listings frequently highlighted full-time opportunities, as well as part-time and provisional roles, with some focused on outreach to both new and experienced applicants. For example, part-time positions dedicated to traffic data collection were also offered by some county transportation departments[3].
Opportunities were geographically diverse, with postings in metro areas such as Atlanta, Nashville, and regions served by the Illinois Department of Transportation. Each department maintained dedicated websites and electronic systems to manage applications and ensure timely updates about new and filled vacancies[1][3][8].
For detailed information about positions, duties, and application processes, candidates were encouraged to consult the official careers pages of the respective departments or transportation agencies.
