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.

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.
