Nature and Scope 

This position reports to the Section Chief of Transit Operating - Northern, as do the Transit Operating Program Manager, and two additional Transit Operating Project Managers. There are no subordinates reporting to this position. 

This position is accountable for the day-to-day project management and compliance oversight of operating assistance grants to both rural and urbanized grantees that provide public transportation in the northern areas of the state. The incumbent may also provide technical assistance to the grantees regarding federal and state program compliance guidelines and requirements. The grants managed by the incumbent are numerous and typically involve eligible operating expense issues associated with the Department’s operating assistance grant programs in rural and urbanized areas. 

The greatest challenges to this position are to manage a large number of grants to various public transportation providers, and to ensure grantees are utilizing the grant funds for eligible cost activities, and operating within state and federal program guidelines. Typical grant management problems confronting the incumbent include: monitoring compliance with federal/state requirements, ensuring grantee adherence to budget and scope limitations, reconciling issues related to eligible cost and requisition issues, and obtaining and analyzing necessary operating data for federal and state reporting requirements.

These tasks often require the incumbent to travel, sometimes overnight, and make presentations to transit officials and providers. 

The effectiveness of the position can be measured by the ability of the incumbent to provide proper and timely management of operating assistance grant activities by understanding these programs, communicating relevant information to grantees, promptly and accurately processing grant and payment documents, and work cohesively with all Department and grantee staff.
