Here’s a job listing you’re not going to find on Craigslist Westchester or in the Queens Tribune: The New York City Department of Transportation’s new Office of Planning and Sustainability is (or was) looking for an Assistant Commissioner for Congestion Pricing.

Salary: $130,000 to $150,000. No word on whether you get a government-issued parking placard but I’m guessing not.
