The Division’s responsibilities include planning, street design, technical analysis, signs, transit development, freight mobility and markings to ensure the safety of motor vehicle occupants, pedestrians, and cyclists.
The Traffic Engineering & Planning (TEP) unit, within TPM, is responsible for conducting, reviewing, and approving transportation engineering and planning studies, analyses and methodologies.
TEP seeks an experienced, ambitious, and motivated candidate to serve as Deputy Director of Transit Analysis, working with a multi-disciplinary team on designing and implementing complex transportation planning, safety, and engineering projects.
The candidate will manage TEP staff, lead the review and/or preparation of traffic and pedestrian analyses to inform projects undertaken by TPM’s Transit Development unit, and supervise the collection, review, summary and analysis of transportation data.
The candidate will oversee the review and preparation of Synchro and/or SimTraffic models using pavement marking plans, signal timing plans and traffic/pedestrian data. The candidate will ensure these models are properly calibrated to reflect observed field conditions in accordance with NYC DOT’s calibration guidelines.
Additionally, the candidate, under the general supervision and guidance of TEP’s Office of Project Analysis Director, will assist in the review of environmental studies under CEQR/SEQR/NEPA processes using the analytical procedures presented in the CEQR Technical Manual and assist in conducting a variety of traffic operation and safety studies following the Department’s supplemental guidance on level-of-service analyses for signalized/unsignalized intersections and pedestrian elements (i.e., sidewalks, crosswalks, and street corners) using a variety of analysis tools—including Highway Capacity Software (HCS), Synchro/SimTraffic, SIDRA, and other traffic simulation models (i.e., VISSIM, Aimsun, etc.)—to develop and test improvement measures that ameliorate congestion, improve mobility, and enhance safety for all street users, with a particular focus on bus transit improvements.
The candidate will also supervise engineering reviews of schematic geometric designs and Design Approval Document/Preliminary Design Investigation reports for capital reconstruction projects and other transportation projects using the NYSDOT Project Development Manual, Highway Design Manual, Transportation Environmental Manual, and Local Projects Manual, as well as organize and prepare written reports and graphic materials for presentations, participate in technical and advisory committee meetings, and interact with other agency representatives on department studies and projects.
The candidate will be expected to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a team, and will primarily work in the office but may be asked to perform occasional field work.
