I'm pleased to announce that Streetsblog is adding a new service: the Streetsblog jobs board. If you have a job opening in the fields of urban planning, transportation engineering, or livable streets advocacy, you'll reach a talented pool of people by placing the position on Streetsblog.
Posting on Streetsblog gets the word out about your job opening to a national audience of professionals and advocates who are committed to moving cities toward a more sustainable future.
Each month, nearly 200,000 unique visitors come to Streetsblog, making us the most watched transportation and planning news source in America, according to the web analytics site Alexa.com. A job listing posted on Streetsblog will reach a targeted and educated audience:
41 percent of our readers have advanced degrees
We have a strong following among professionals in the public and private sectors who specialize in bike and pedestrian planning, transit planning, urban design, parking management, and the intersection of transportation and technology
We're widely read by non-profits working for safer streets, smart growth, and more sustainable transportation
Our readership ranges from students and professionals at the outset of their careers to top executives and experienced managers
The price for a job listing on Streetsblog, which will be highlighted on all of our sites, is $50. Early adopters get a 100 percent discount: Our first 40 listings are free.
If you're searching for a job, it's easy to browse our database for openings in your field. (We have ten listings in five cities -- and counting -- as we go to press.)
As an independent, not-for-profit news source, we're also excited about the jobs board as one more way to diversify the way we fund Streetsblog and support the work we do. Try it out and if you have any feedback on how we can improve it, please drop us a line at tips@streetsblog.org.
