PREFACE

The 2012 AASHTO Salary Survey has been prepared to provide job classifications and salary information on positions currently used by the transportation industry.

This survey is intended as a tool for human resources administrators and other professionals whose work involves studying and analyzing job classifications, writing job descriptions and developing/designing pay structures unique to departments of transportation (DOTs).

This document contains 74 matched titles divided into 5 broad job categories. The categories are: administrative, engineering, general, maintenance, and other. For each title, a brief description, salary range, and actual salary is included. A benefits section is also included, with information on medical insurance, paid time off, and retirement plans. States were instructed to submit data effective July 1, 2012.

Websites for job class specifications, salary information, and a DOT contact list are provided to obtain additional information not part of this survey.
