Job Description

The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) works to improve the safety, accessibility, and reliability of the City’s transportation network and maintain the infrastructure that supports New Yorkers every day. The Division of Budget, Capital Program Management seeks a detail-oriented planner to coordinate the development, review, execution, and implementation of memoranda of understanding (MOUs) and related agreements supporting DOT’s capital program and interagency initiatives. More specifically, the agreements the planner will be working to develop and execute will primarily be between DOT and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in which proposed MTA facilities impact the public right-of-way. These projects and initiatives could include, but are not limited to, the MTA Fast Forward Plan for station accessibility through ADA upgrades (e.g., installation of elevators); the development of the Interborough Express (IBX) light rail line and associated stations throughout Brooklyn and Queens; and various efforts to address flooding of the subway system. Under the direction of division leadership, the selected candidate will work closely with DOT’s planning, engineering, operations, budget, and legal teams, as well as partner agencies, to establish clear responsibilities for project delivery, funding, asset ownership, operations, and maintenance. The candidate will help move agreements from initial discussion through execution, identify and resolve outstanding issues, and track commitments necessary to advance projects. This position will initially be part of BCPM helping craft the agreements and framework, but later transition to the Franchises team to work directly on MTA projects. Responsibilities will include: 1. Coordinate the preparation and review of MOUs and related agreements with DOT divisions, Legal Affairs, and partner agencies. 2. Gather and synthesize project information to help define agency responsibilities, funding commitments, implementation schedules, and ongoing maintenance obligations. 3. Prepare draft agreement language, supporting materials, correspondence, and briefing documents in coordination with technical staff and legal counsel. 4. Organize interagency meetings, document decisions and outstanding issues, and follow up with responsible parties to advance agreements. 5. Review project scopes, plans, cost estimates, and other supporting documents to identify issues requiring clarification or agreement. 6. Maintain a centralized inventory of proposed and executed agreements, including their status, key commitments, responsible parties, deadlines, and renewal or amendment needs. 7. Identify delays and unresolved policy, funding, or operational issues; develop recommendations and elevate matters requiring leadership decisions. 8. Track implementation of executed agreements and coordinate amendments as project scopes or agency responsibilities change. 9. Develop standard templates, review procedures, and tracking tools to improve consistency and reduce turnaround times. 10. Perform related planning, research, analysis, and coordination duties as assigned. COMMUNITY COORDINATOR - 56058
