Class Characteristics
Transportation Analyst I
This is the entry-level class in the Transportation Analyst series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents perform analytical, programmatic, and project support work in transportation and transit programs. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and are performed with greater independence. Positions at this level generally perform most of the duties required of the II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to regulatory interpretation, project programming, and grant management.
Transportation Analyst II
This is the fully competent class in the Transportation Analyst series. Incumbents independently manage assigned transportation and transit programs and projects; interpret and apply state and federal regulations and funding requirements; and provide professional-level analytical and project management support to TCTC/TCTA and member agencies. Incumbents are expected to have working knowledge of California and federal transportation funding programs, transit operations support, and project delivery processes. Positions at this level are distinguished from the I level by the performance of the full range of assigned duties, working independently, and exercising a higher level of judgment and initiative. This class is distinguished from the Senior Transportation Analyst in that the latter may be responsible for supervising lower-level staff and is capable of performing the most complex assigned duties.
Senior Transportation Analyst
This is the senior-level class in the Transportation Analyst series. Incumbents lead and manage complex transportation and transit programs, regulatory compliance efforts, and special projects of significant public and policy consequence. Incumbents provide strategic analysis and guidance to the Executive Director and Board; serve as the primary point of coordination for member agencies on transportation project programming and delivery matters; and exercise supervisory responsibility over assigned staff. This class is distinguished from department manager classifications in that the latter have full management authority over the scope of departmental operations.
