This role will assist in ensuring compliance with Federal guidelines for the construction of traffic control devices. The Program Analyst will work with other internal Traffic Operations units as well as NYCDOT Divisions and NYC agencies to implement the program. They will assist with the communication and reporting of various program elements to internal/external stakeholders and entities. They will provide support in updating, organizing, and maintaining program databases, critical correspondences, and preparing detailed progress reports.
