Operations Analyst

The Transportation Planning and Management Division (TP&M) 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.

TP&M is seeking motivated candidates to work on issues related to supporting the agency's automated enforcement efforts and AEU Initiative through time lapse capture, data collection and analysis, high resolution image documentation and the adoption of new innovative strategies for a newly created Data Collection Unit (DCU); this unit will fall under the Public Engagement Group (PEG), a critical outreach support team for the TP&M Division. PEG supports Vision Zero safety initiatives cited in the agency's Strategic Plan and NYC Streets Plan and has been critical to the agency's public engagement strategy. PEG also provides capacity for public input in the development of Street Improvement Projects (SIPs) and supports the explicit goals of Project-Based Outreach and Public Awareness.

Under the direction of PEG, the candidate will serve as DCU's Operations Analyst (OA), reporting directly to the Data Collections and Operations Lead (DCOL). The OA will assist the DCOL in working on tasks related to database management, archiving, and the testing and development of new tools for time lapse capture and analysis in support of automated enforcement. They will also be responsible for deploying to the field to capture Official Project Imagery (OPI) aerial photographs, providing high resolution "before and after" images from elevated positions aboard bucket trucks along project corridors and intersections. The OA will also assist in reviewing and analyzing time lapse footage to present to Project Managers (PMs), while also helping to catalog recorded video images to be maintained as a reference and resource for planners. Time lapse data helps to better inform PMs on conditions along roadways for greater understanding of the effects of automated enforcement, and where it may be deployed in a way most beneficial to the aims of safely reducing the number of fatalities and injuries.

The OA will be critical in carrying out operations in the field to assist with the collection of recorded videos for review and analysis. Field assignments for the OA will include the management and placement of hard assets (i.e. time lapse cameras) for the documentation of traffic conditions along streets and corridors for traffic assessment and planning. Preference will be given to candidates with experience working with cameras, automated enforcement, time lapse video recordings, data analytics, transportation planning, data collection and management, public engagement, and any additional experience working in or with the public sector. The ideal candidate will be a problem solver who values attention to detail and has experience supervising staff. An ability to research new trends in data collection with an appreciation for broader policy issues is desired, as is an ability to work collaboratively with internal planning groups and operational teams to tailor review and analysis to their unique needs.

Preferred Skills
Experience using passive camera assets for long duration recordings and a familiarity with time lapse software tools is desirable. The ideal candidate will also have experience collecting, classifying, organizing and analyzing video and data catalogs. The candidate should also be comfortable working closely with Project Managers in assessing needs for video captured from the field. Experience managing and supervising direct reports is also valued. An ability to research new trends in data collection with an appreciation for broader policy issues is desired, as is an ability to work collaboratively with internal planning groups and operational teams to tailor review and analysis to their unique needs.
