News submitted from Metropolitan Transportation Commission:

Bay Area high school students can test-drive a career in transportation this summer and get paid while gaining valuable job experience. MTC is sponsoring approximately 40 summer internships for local high school youth who will be at least 16 years of age by mid-June.

Jobs are located in city and county offices and transit agencies in all nine counties of the Bay Area (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma).

This year’s interns will assist with a variety of engineering tasks, such as designing a bike path and collecting traffic counts, as well as other aspects of planning and delivering transportation, including conducting surveys, reaching out to the community, building web pages, writing for agency publications, working with databases and posting to social media.

Some jobs involve training in GIS or other programs.

Internships pay $12.25 per hour and the deadline to apply is Sunday, March 22, 2015.
