TDM Outreach Specialist

Job description

**Alta Planning + Design** is hiring a **TDM Outreach Specialist Level I or II** for our **Los Angeles** office. This is a role for someone who finds meaning in the work of connecting people to places and who genuinely believes that transit, biking, carpooling, and walking are not just alternatives to driving alone, but better ways to move through communities. This is a full-time position that will support a portfolio of projects primarily based in the greater Los Angeles area, with a primary focus on conducting public outreach, providing high-quality customer service, engaging with community members and stakeholders, and assisting with the implementation of programs. **About Alta** Alta is a mission‑driven company working to mitigate climate change and advance safety and social justice by shaping sustainable, people‑centered communities. We bring together expertise across planning, design, engineering, education and encouragement programs, and community engagement to help communities thrive. Our work is grounded in the belief that how places are designed and experienced has a profound impact on equity, health, and opportunity—and that people should always be at the heart of those decisions. Founded in 1996, Alta was at the forefront of the active transportation movement and has spent nearly 30 years partnering with communities to imagine a more connected, resilient, and inclusive future. Today, with more than 225 staff across the United States and beyond, we are a global leader in creating environments that support everyday life, strengthen human connection, and respond to the challenges of a changing world. Alta offers the opportunity to collaborate across disciplines, contribute to meaningful work at every scale, and be part of a team committed to making lasting, positive change for people and the places they call home. **The Role** The role will support the implementation and day-to-day delivery of TDM programs that help employees, residents, students, visitors, and other travelers understand and use transportation options. The work may include commuter programs, employer services, TMA/TMO programs, transportation benefit programs, rideshare and vanpool programs, transit promotion, active transportation programs, parking management strategies, mobility hubs, first/last-mile programs, shared mobility, and other initiatives that reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled. This is a people-centered implementation role. The specialist will frequently communicate with commuters, employers, clients, public agency staff, vendors, and community partners; explain transportation programs in clear and practical terms; and help turn plans and policies into programs that people can use. The position will include in-person work and occasional events outside traditional business hours, including evenings and weekends.
