This additional hospital insurance tax is not reflected in the rate above. RETIREE MEDICAL: Unrepresented employees hired before 11/1/18*: You will be eligible for medical coverage when you retire if your separation date and retirement date are within 120 days of each other. SCRRA pays the same amount for retirees as it does for active employees, which is currently 87.5 percent of the applicable premium.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN (457) : You are eligible to set aside a portion of your current income without paying taxes on that money until it is received later during retirement when taxes may be lower.

You may make an additional $7,500 contribution to the plan if you are age 50 and older.

Our main tools for production are comprised of design manual compliance and standards (City & Caltrans); software that includes AutoCAD Civil3D, AGI32 for lighting analysis, and Synchro for traffic timing. TCP also provides design services for other sections that include the Planning section and the Neighborhood Traffic Safety section for roadway safety projects. Projects are typically roadway safety, access, and circulation improvements that are mostly federally and locally funded. In our team, we do Civil/Transportation design comprising of Roadway Geometry, Traffic Signal, Pedestrian and Bicycle safety devices, and the City’s Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) design. Complete Streets Paving & Sidewalks Complete Streets Paving & Sidewalks produces PS&E for pavement rehabilitation and pavement maintenance projects, including design of curb ramps, signage and striping, and pavement treatment. The team’s workplan follows the adopted 2022 5-Year Paving Plan which promotes an equitable prioritization of paving in underserved neighborhoods, along with curb ramps and sidewalks prioritization plans. Additional goals of the program are to advance safety improvements on high injury corridors; incorporate new design standards for transit, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities; and implement neighborhood safety and Safe Routes to School improvements. Traffic Engineering The Traffic Engineering section operates programs that improve roadway safety for schools and residential/commercial neighborhoods and supports inter-departmental and jurisdictional projects. Typical work involves helping residents slow down traffic in their neighborhood, working with principals to improve pedestrian safety around schools, setting speed limits for the police to enforce, restricting parking on narrow streets for the fire department to access, and reviewing neighboring jurisdictions' projects that impact Oakland streets. The team also delivers small-scale capital improvement projects funded by in -house budget and outside grants for which the team applies and competes. The selected candidate will be the lead Engineer in either inter-departmental or small capital projects, both of which are supported by Assistant Engineers. Bicycle & Pedestrian Program The Bicycle & Pedestrian Program facilitates, coordinates, and oversees the implementation of the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans and supports OakDOT in creating, managing, and analyzing transportation data. The Program designs and delivers low-cost/high-impact projects and provides staff support to the City’s Bicyclist and Pedestrian Advisory Commission. Multimodal Corridor Operations The Multimodal Corridor Operations section maintains, operates, and improves Oakland's Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS). The section operates more than 700 traffic signals, High-intensity Activated crossWalK (HAWK) signals, and Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) and works closely with the City's Maintenance Section to maintain and upgrade these existing devices. The section collaborates with AC Transit, Caltrans, Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), and Port of Oakland to improve regional traffic safety.
