Nearly 90% of our city's goods are truck-delivered, underscoring the need for revolutionary last-mile delivery strategies.

The team stives to integrate these objectives to preserve the city's livability and simultaneously bolster New York City's economic competitiveness and vitality.
The unit seeks to hire 1 candidate to serve the freight unit to support a variety of projects that further the goals of the NYC Streets Plan and Better Buses.

The candidate will help identify opportunities where transit and freight initiatives can complement one another to improve safety, mobility, curb utilization, and overall street efficiency.
The candidate would also support data collection and stakeholder outreach efforts to identify delivery needs, engage local businesses, and develop curb management solutions such as neighborhood loading zones, Off-Hour Delivery accommodation, or designated Microhubs. This approach helps maintain and support efficient goods movement while advancing transit reliability, pedestrian safety, and key mayoral objectives. This is an opportunity to work with a team dedicated to improving safety, accessibility, and mobility throughout New York City.
