The Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS) of the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) seeks a developer to implement, adapt, and maintain models of travel behavior and transportation systems in various platforms to provide insights for transportation planning in the Boston region.

The MPO is advancing a transportation model roadmap that defines a suite of new models to be developed, adopted, and maintained, and that supports existing tools and applications. The Model Developer will work as part of a team of transportation planners and modelers to realize the roadmap.
