Candidates will work collaboratively within the TD unit, closely with other DOT staff, and with other City, State, and Federal agencies (particularly the MTA). Candidates will also manage programmatic inventories (i.e., bus lanes or bus stop amenities, etc.), consultant work efforts and contracts, and develop and/or review capital projects, produce project evaluation reports, and conduct various technical planning analysis as directed by the unit director.
