About Us

We connect people to places by providing a high-quality, safe, reliable, clean, and efficient mass transit system that meets the travel needs of the County's growing population and we provide vital transportation infrastructure systems and services.

Our mass transit system includes:

We provide all traffic signals countywide, along with all traffic control signs, street signage and pavement markings and all County and State-owned street lights. We build, operate and maintain movable and fixed bridges, swales, roadway surface repairs, guardrails, and along County road rights-of-way. We also operate and maintain the Rickenbacker and Venetian Causeways.

We manage the County Stormwater Utility for flood and water quality protection and maintain the secondary canal system.

Permits for all work within rights-of-way and code enforcement of unpermitted work is also handled by our Public Works division.
