Jobs We Do

Transportation

The hundreds of thousands of transportation workers represented by AFSCME keep America moving. They design roads and bridges, inspect the highways, maintain the streets, plow the snow, direct the traffic, write the parking tickets and keep you safe with signage and signals. Others drive and maintain buses and keep rapid transit trains rolling. Millions of passengers make their flights in airports maintained by our members.  AFSCME is a strong advocate for providing the resources necessary to maintain and renew the transportation networks critical to the growth of our economy.
