Our Department, directed by Lance Wilber, promotes and ensures safe and efficient transportation and
communications. Our responsibilities range from long-
range transportation planning to the day-to-day operations of our traffic signals and street signs.
We provide services that move people and goods on
our roads and pedestrian systems.
We work hard to streamline the development process of the Transportation Improvement Program that funds
the majority of the transportation infrastructure.
We also focus on addressing neighborhood traffic concerns and operations that maximize public safety,
as well as continue to provide expertise to ensure that
public safety communications and electronic systems are fully functional for all Municipal agencies.
