Job Description And Duties The Sustainable Transportation and Communities Division (STCD) uses a multi‑disciplinary approach to integrate research, transportation and land use planning, regulations, and incentives to advance sustainable, equitable communities that provide affordable housing and a range of transportation options to accelerate electrification, reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT), support carbon sequestration, and meet community needs to promote equity, access to opportunity, and community resiliency.
This Division embraces some of the most programmatic and politically challenging policy objectives such as transitioning to all‑electric buildings, overseeing the state’s strategy for climate investments, developing a state strategy to reduce VMT, and ensuring equity remains front and center in all we do. Our work affects the lives of Californians and creates policy frameworks that other states, the nation, and other countries seek to follow. Key to STCD’s success is innovation in policy areas such as housing, land use planning, and mobility; integrating expertise across its branches; thinking creatively; and building strong collaboration across CARB and with agencies at all levels of government.
Under the administrative direction of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the Executive Officer, and the Deputy Executive Officer for Equity, Communities, and Environmental Justice, the Division Chief plans, organizes, and directs the work of STCD staff; formulates policy and policy recommendations; acts as part of the Leadership team in the identification of issues, formulation of policies, and development of strategies to best meet program objectives; represents the Board on issues related to regulations on vehicle manufacturers, programs to reduce emissions from other transportation systems, impacts of land‑use decisions, and related issues with federal, state, and local agencies, the Legislature, and the general public.
