New York City Department of Transportation
Program Lead - Truck Safety, Compliance, and Education
New York City Department of Transportation, New York, New York, us, 10261
New York City's economic strength, vibrancy, and livability as a world-class city relies on the complex logistics and supply chains that support residents and businesses. Freight activity is an integral part of the lives of all New Yorkers - providing the goods needed to support over 8.5 million residents, over 4 million jobs, and 62 million tourists each year. Today close to 90% of the City's goods are moved into and around the city by truck - the result of the shift from rail and water networks to highways in the second half of the twentieth century. Now, our dependency on trucks to meet an increasing demand for goods exacerbates traffic congestion, pollutes our air, stresses our aging infrastructure, and harms the quality of life in our residential neighborhoods. Join our growing team reinventing freight transportation solutions and solving the City's most critical challenges around goods movement.
The Freight Mobility (FM) Unit within the Division of Transportation Planning & Management (TPM) is seeking an ambitious, highly organized, and motivated candidate with a strong technical background and excellent communications skills to serve as a Program Lead for our Truck Safety, Compliance, and Education portfolio. The FM unit is responsible for developing transformative infrastructure projects, programs, and policies to improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of goods movement in NYC.
The selected candidate will manage FM's truck safety, compliance, and education projects, which includes developing and implementing a work plan, including schedule and budget, to support the safety related initiatives laid out in the agency's citywide freight strategy and vision, Delivering New York: A Smart Truck Management Plan for NYC, and managing a team of staff to help implement these efforts. The Program Lead will coordinate tasks between internal teams and external agencies to implement key safety and education initiatives such as the Truck Smart safety education campaign, the Truck's Eye View blind spot education program expansion, bridge strike mitigation program, and development of a readily available truck safety data dashboard to inform other planning efforts within DOT. Additional tasks include seeking out safety grants and opportunities to pilot new safety improvement technologies, managing a truck safety task force with key stakeholders, and developing a safe driver recognition program. The Program Lead will also coordinate periodic analysis of truck route compliance, utilizing data to strategize and advance regulatory changes, roadway enhancements, and educational campaigns to improve truck compliance on city streets and develop targeted education and outreach campaigns for egregious violators.
This role will require the ability to work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders, exercise independent judgment and initiative, build and foster relationships with business partners, community members, and other city and state agencies, and research and creatively advance new strategies and technologies to improve safety for NYC residents and businesses.
TPM is responsible for the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible movement of people and goods on the City's streets, supporting the larger goals of economic and social vitality for people living, working, and doing business in New York City. The Division's responsibilities include planning, street design, technical analysis, signs, transit development, freight mobility and markings, ensuring the safety of motor vehicle occupants, pedestrians, and cyclists.
