The Transportation Department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of streets and sidewalks; performs traffic and transportation system engineering; manages the Utilities Undergrounding program; and plans and coordinates work in the right-of-way. These functions work together in an effort to plan, coordinate, and perform right-of-way maintenance and improvements to provide safe and efficient travel across the City.

The Department is comprised of three distinct divisions: Administration and Right of Way Coordination, Street, and Transportation Engineering Operations (TEO).
