The Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA), formerly the Regional Transportation Authority, was created by the Illinois General Assembly and Governor JB Pritzker to make transit across northeastern Illinois work for riders as one regional transit system. NITA is seeking to fill a newly formed role with the Director of Planning and Performance for the Capital Programming and Planning department. The incumbent reports to the Chief Transition Officer and is responsible for managing, directing, and coordinating overall operations for the Planning department.

  • Overhaul internal operations and GIS capabilities of NITA's public website that includes the region's transit data to meet NITA's new requirements.
  • Oversee regional service planning, a regional signage program, a new combined NITA transit benefit program, and other regional coordination activities.
  • Oversee the administration of the federal Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program.
  • Guide the development and implementation of planning and analysis tools and models.
  • Reorient NITA to take on a leadership position in planning and research activities with Service Boards, DOTs, CMAP, other public agencies, universities, and non-profits.
  • Develop reports for and deliver presentations to the Agency Board of Directors, management and staff, counterparts at the Service Boards, local and regional governments and planning bodies and other public transportation related entities.
  • Coordinate resources and reports with Chief Internal Auditor to comply with state and federal oversight regulations. Follow up on findings from internal and external audits to ensure remedial action.
  • 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.
  • Perform other duties and assist in special projects as required or assigned.
