Transportation Planning and Policy Director
  • Oregon Metro
  • Portland, OR FULL_TIME
  • Metro is dedicated to shaping a better future for the greater Portland region. Our work benefits the lives of the people who live here, today and tomorrow. We offer a highly competitive compensation and benefits program. Learn more about the benefits Metro offers.
     
    At Metro, we collaborate with partners to shape a vibrant, equitable region where all people can thrive. Through planning, policies and community investments we help guide growth in ways and places that support this vision.
     
    Metro's Planning, Development and Research (PD&R) department is the steward of the Greater Portland region's 2040 Growth Concept, a vision for how to sustainably accommodate growth and change over the long term while retaining the quality of life, access to nature, economic competitiveness, and equitable opportunities that make this region a good place to live and work. The department integrates planning, partnership, research, funding, and implementation tools to advance the 2040 vision.

    As a regional government with an elected Council, Metro works to realize a broad range of goals through policies and plans adopted by the Metro Council. Regional policies implement state land use planning laws (including managing our region’s Urban Growth Boundary) as well as federal rules.

    Metro is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Greater Portland region and is responsible for the allocation of federal funding to projects and partners. PD&R works closely with cities and counties across the region to meet federal and state land use and transportation planning requirements.

    In addition to planning and policy work, PD&R administers multiple investment programs that provide resources that help local communities advance equitable development in the region. Finally, the department includes Metro’s nationally regarded research, modeling and data teams. These groups work closely with internal programs as well as providing services to external partners.

    The result of this multi-disciplinary structure and integrated approach is a unique workplace providing regional and national leadership in regional planning, governance, investment, and innovation.

    Metro’s Planning, Development and Research Department is recruiting a full-time Transportation Planning and Policy Director to guide our work in creating a safe, accessible, equitable transportation system in service to a healthy, economically vibrant region. The director will supervise managers in two sections of the department: Regional Planning and Resource Development. The Regional Planning section guides policy development and long-range planning activities while the Resource Development section leads programming of federal transportation funds and regional transportation system and demand management programs. Both sections collaborate closely with other parts of the department, including the Investment Areas team that helps deliver major regional projects.
     
    As the Transportation Planning and Policy Director, you will:
    • Lead ambitious, innovative transportation solutions, planning and policies that support the Metro Council's strategic targets of addressing transportation needs, reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, building a resilient economy, and housing for all.
    • Provide strategic and dynamic leadership and management for the region’s federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), including long term and day-to-day oversight of the Regional Planning and Resource Development sections that make up the MPO division of PD&R, working closely with each manager to integrate work programs, budgets, and teams into coordinated MPO strategy.
    • Maintain a broad and diverse network of external relationships with other key public agency, community and business partners.
    • Interact regularly with the Metro Council and other local, regional, and state elected officials, including staffing Metro Council members on transportation planning, policy and project issues.
    • Promote respect for diversity, equity and inclusion as a key organizational value through leadership and decision-making process.
    • Balance regional political pressures that reflect a wide range of different viewpoints.
    • Play a lead role in staffing and managing Metro’s high-profile transportation committees, including the Joint Policy Committee on Transportation (JPACT) and the Transportation Policy Alternatives Committee (TPAC).
    • Participate in department budgeting, reporting, strategic planning, and other executive management efforts.
    • Prepare and deliver presentations to a wide variety of audiences, including Metro Council and other elected officials, business and community groups, professional peers, stakeholder advisory committees, international delegations, conferences, and training events.
    • Act as primary liaison to our federal and state partners at the US Department of Transportation and the Oregon Department of Transportation to coordinate federal funding requirements, oversee MPO allocations and direct grant funds within Metro.
    • Provide leadership and convene regional transportation agencies to coordinate competitive federal funding requests and help position them for success.
    • Collaborate with the PD&R Director, Deputy Director and other managers to integrate transportation planning and policy work into the broader department work program and pursue funding for shared project, planning and research opportunities.
    • Provide strategic communication leadership for Metro’s transportation planning and policy.
    • Provide leadership for staff professional development, teamwork planning, and program innovation; help managers and staff identify technical, communication, and resource needs to deliver project and program outcomes.
    • Build a diverse and inclusive staff with opportunities for leadership succession.
    • Ensure continued federal certification of the MPO program including compliance with funding program requirements; advocate for Metro’s interests in federal and state MPO revenue allocation processes.
    • Participate in transportation planning and MPO activities at the national level to stay current on emerging issues and identify opportunities for program improvement and innovation.
    • Collaborate closely with and provide guidance to Metro’s Research, Modeling and Data teams and other Metro departments for transportation-related programs and needs.
