Ryan Russo

Oakland Department of Transportation, Director

Ryan Russo was appointed in May 2017 as the first permanent Director of the Oakland Department of Transportation (OakDOT). OakDOT pursues a vision of a more equitable, safer Oakland with improved access to housing, jobs, schools and services. It is responsible for the operations and maintenance of the city’s over 800 miles of roads and 1,100 miles of sidewalks and represents Oakland with the region’s transportation partners, such as BART, AC Transit, MTC and Caltrans. OakDOT has become a national model for incorporating equity into transportation planning, policy, programs and operations. From paving plans to emerging mobility, OakDOT is working to center racial equity in every organizational aspect and long-neglected communities are now being more authentically engaged and collaborating with government.
