Sustainable Transportation Co-op Fall 2024
10 Park Plaza, Massachusetts
Employer: MASS
Industry: Planning
Salary: Competitive
Job type: Full-Time
About the Sustainable Transportation Team:
This group's work includes planning activities that support a lower emission, more climate resilient transportation system. The group's work includes completing a statewide flood risk assessment study that considers the risks to critical MassDOT assets from future flooding and completing a planning study on the impacts of increased teleworking on the transportation system. This group also works with Metropolitan Planning Organizations to incorporate climate change impacts into capital project selection and collaborates closely with other agencies, including the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, to support the Commonwealth's climate change policy agenda. Other work undertaken by the group includes planning for refueling infrastructure to support alternative fuel vehicles and understanding associated impacts on the transportation system, as well as greenhouse gas data collection and reporting.
Position Summary:
The Co-Op will work under supervision of a member of the sustainable transportation team and work on the development and execution of an analysis related to potential demand for alternative fuel infrastructure, particularly electric vehicle (EV) charging, across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This may involve an analysis of location-based trip data, vehicle registration data, and zoning and land use patterns, and other public and MassDOT held data sources. The Co-Op will help to assess how these factors may influence alternative fuel infrastructure siting and opportunities. This may include a focus on understanding medium- and heavy-duty travel patterns and the related implications for decarbonization pathways. There may also be opportunities to work on a range of other related transportation planning related topics.
The Co-Op will help to create a final report that will serve as a knowledge product for MassDOT, potentially informing future policy. The Co-Op may have the opportunity to summarize and present findings from this report to MassDOT staff.
