D&C seeks an experienced and motivated candidate to support the Bus Action Plan with a primary focus on implementing citywide bus priority and bus passenger safety efforts supporting Vision Zero initiatives.

The role emphasizes program coordination, process controls, and cross-unit collaboration to support all Vision Zero objectives.

The successful candidate will manage all aspects of the Bus Action Plan, including projects associated with resurfacing, Street Improvement Projects, and other capital and operational initiatives.

Additional responsibilities include coordinating bus priority projects with resurfacing programs; participating in interagency and internal meetings; and working with Borough Commissioners’ offices, agency leadership, planning units, contractors, and in-house staff. The candidate will assist in managing multiple projects, ensuring work is properly assigned, prioritized, and tracked to meet all performance targets and Key Performance Indicators, with particular emphasis on expanding a safe, fast, and reliable bus network.
