    Company Description

    Job Description


    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, solving the City's most critical challenges around goods movement.


    The Division of Transportation Planning & Management (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.

    The Freight Mobility (FM) Unit within the TPM division is seeking two (2) ambitious, highly organized, and motivated candidates with a strong technical background and excellent communications skills to serve as freight planners across multiple teams within the unit.

    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 successful candidates will support our extensive portfolio of freight programs, freight safety and education initiatives, and freight corridor initiatives within the Freight Mobility unit.

    Under the direction of Freight Mobility Deputy Directors, the Community Coordinator will assist the Deputy Directors and senior staff with the planning, implementation, and outreach associated with several freight programs and pilots including Off-Hour Deliveries (OHD), Neighborhood Loading Zones (NLZs), Microhubs Pilot, LockerNYC Pilot, Truck Electrification and Green Loading Zones (GLZs) programs.

    The candidate will be charged with facilitating outreach and community engagement in advance of program/pilot launches and serve to support public facing presentations.


    Core duties performed by the Community Coordinator will include supporting planning and coordination of freight program and pilot implementations; conducting outreach to the public related to existing and forthcoming freight programs and initiatives; reviewing and responding to public inquiries related to freight programs and pilots.

    In addition, the selected candidate may also conduct studies and prepare appropriate reports and analyses and make recommendations on policies and procedures related to any existing or forthcoming freight programs and pilots.


    The Department of Transportation's (DOT) mission is to provide for the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible movement of people and goods in the City of New York and to maintain and enhance the transportation infrastructure crucial to the economic vitality and quality of life of our primary customers, City residents.
