Highway Safety GIS Specialist - (190006TG)

Description

At MassDOT, transportation is not about roads and bridges, or trains and buses – it is about people. Our mission begins with customers - individuals, businesses, municipalities, and regional transit agencies. We support programs and projects that deliver a high return on investment. We partner with municipalities, public agencies, and private sector businesses. MassDOT supports the economic, quality of life, and environmental goals of the Commonwealth.

The individual will also liaise with and handle technical questions from other MassDOT staff, metropolitan planning organizations, other Massachusetts agencies, and the general public regarding the use of the new IMPACT crash portal, a GIS-based software tool used to query, visualize and extract crash data (https://apps.impact.dot.state.ma.us/cdp/home).   This also includes conducting custom designed training sessions with key MassDOT staff as needed.  The individual will be required to facilitate meetings and make presentations using data prepared.

Other related duties will also be assigned as required.
