  • Analyze travel demand patterns and behavior changes since the COVID-19 pandemic and develop innovative and cost-effective ideas to increase ridership.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders, including transportation agencies, local governments, and community groups, to gather input, address concerns, and facilitate consensus on transit planning initiatives.
  • Support the development of transit service plans, including route alignments, frequency adjustments, and infrastructure investments, to enhance accessibility and connectivity.
  • Prepare clear and concise reports, presentations, and visualizations to communicate findings, recommendations, and project updates to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Stay informed about emerging trends, technologies, and best practices in transit planning and transportation policy, particularly those related to equity and Title VI compliance.
  • Monitor and evaluate the implementation of transit plans and policies to ensure effectiveness, equity, and compliance with Title VI regulations.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned.


What You Will Need to Be Successful in this Role:

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and data analysis tools, e.g., Excel, R, Python.
  • Experience with transit planning software, e.g., Trapeze, Remix, and Transit Boardings Estimation and Simulation Tool (TBEST), is preferred but not required.
  • Ability to work independently, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Passion for sustainable transportation and urban development; committed to promoting equity and accessibility in transit systems.
  • Strong understanding of best practices related to data management, analysis, and presentation.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex datasets, conduct quantitative analysis, and generate actionable insights for decision-making.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with diverse stakeholders and present technical information to non-technical audiences.
  • Knowledge of transit operations, regulatory requirements, and industry standards.
