Denver's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI), through its employees, enhances the quality of life in Denver by efficiently delivering effective, high quality, safe and equitable public infrastructure, and services. We employ a culture of safety throughout the department to strengthen workplace health and organizational performance.
For more information, please visit the DOTI Website.
DOTI’s Commitment to Equity:
-
DOTI is committed to providing attention and resources to the areas, assets, and people of the city with the greatest need. Through equitable contracting, equitable investments, and equitable workforce development.
-
DOTI’s culture revolves around four key principles: (1) Invest in Our People, (2) Operate with Discipline, (3) Use Data to Drive Decisions, and (4) Deliver Results
The Transportation Climate Manager will focus on meeting climate goals by reducing single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) trips and expanding transportation options. The City’s Climate Action Plan depends on meeting a goal of reducing SOV commuting to 50% and increasing the number of people biking, walking or taking transit to 30% (double today’s rates). By serving as a technical expert on multimodal transportation and climate, this role will help ensure alignment between CASR’s climate efforts, DOTI’s multimodal work, efforts of other departments, and policy across the city, region and state.
The manager will advise on policy strategies that meet mode shift goals, reduce air pollution and climate emissions, and advance equity. Since this work takes place not only within DOTI and CASR, but also CPD, Parks and other agencies, the position will serve in a coordinating role among agencies to align strategies to meet those goals.
The role will also coordinate outside of CCD, with regional and state entities working on relevant policies, programs or initiatives. This position will develop performance criteria and evaluate progress toward meeting goals and objectives, including mode shift, SOV reduction and greenhouse gas emission reductions.
Recognizing that DOTI’s construction of infrastructure and daily operations are also critical to
sustainability, ideally this position would interface with a staff person in DOTI responsible for life cycle analysis, policies that move toward a circular economy and sustainable infrastructure framework.
