The Division of Traffic Operations’ Special Projects Unit seeks to hire a motivated candidate who, under direct supervision, will assist in various transportation planning projects related to traffic signals and street lighting initiatives, particularly the Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) program.

They assist pedestrians who are blind or have low vision to cross streets safely, confidently, and independently.

Traffic Operations is seeking a skilled and highly motivated professional to support the planning, coordination, communication, analysis, monitoring, and reporting needs of the APS program. The primary duties of the selected candidate will involve assisting in the management of the APS programs, using spatial data to support reporting needs, and ensuring each project moves through each stage of the process on schedule, including scoping, design, construction, and long-term maintenance. This role will assist in ensuring compliance with Federal guidelines for the construction of traffic control devices. The Program Analyst will work with other internal Traffic Operations units as well as NYCDOT Divisions and NYC agencies to implement the program. They will assist with the communication and reporting of various program elements to internal/external stakeholders and entities. They will provide support in updating, organizing, and maintaining program databases, critical correspondences, and preparing detailed progress reports. Meet with other team members to present, discuss, and formulate solutions to resolve the program’s issues and recommend appropriate policies and procedures.
