      6. Lead coordination of strategic asset management and asset inventory initiatives with Service Board leadership and staff and create a framework to regionalize asset management work under NITA.
      7. Lead development, calibration and deployment of the regional COST model based on the Federal Transit Administration TERM Life Platform

      11. Develop work scopes and budgets, consultant requests for proposals or staff work plans as appropriate.
      12. Direct consultant and other vendor work ensuring timeliness and quality of deliverables.
      13. Prepare materials and make presentations of study results and recommendations to agency leadership and Board, Service Board senior management, and other agencies.
      14. Support agency leadership, staff, Service Board staff and consultants in implementation of NITA transition activities.
      15. Foster a work culture that's focused on achieving measurable objectives by coaching staff, strengthening interagency relationships, and supporting your team. Supports the Agency's Equal Employment Opportunity policies, goals and objectives.
