Sustainability Planning (Transportation - Airport planning)
Watertown, MA

We are looking for two very smart, highly motivated individuals to join a successful, growing sustainability planning practice in an entrepreneurial, private consulting firm.

Our sustainability practice is focused on airport clients located all over the US and private clients (retail, residential, corporate, institutional) on the east coast. VHB (www.vhb.com) is a transportation, environmental, urban planning, and land development services company with 40 LEED-accredited professionals among our 900 Employees in 14 East Coast Offices. We became the first carbon-neutral engineering firm in the US several years ago and have participated in 75 LEED-certified projects, including the first LEED portfolio project in the nation, for 51 supermarkets for our long-term client, Stop&Shop. Corporately, we practice what we preach on sustainability and “best places to work.”

Our airport clients include San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia Baltimore/Washington, Las Vegas, Providence (RI) and Manchester (NH). We currently have teed up sustainability services for several airports; however, these positions are for other work, as well. One position is for a recent grad (0-2 years experience) and the other is for a mid-level (3-8 years) planner. Both need to have excellent writing and verbal communication skills and should be people who would thrive in an exciting, fast-paced, and varied work environment. We would prefer the team members to be located with our airports and our main sustainability team outside Boston, but are open to location at our other offices.

Please feel forward to this message to qualified candidates. You or potential candidates should feel free to contact me (Marla Engel, AICP (DCRP ’87), at 617 607 2903 or via email (mengel@vhb.com). I will be out of the US August 4-26, at which time potential candidates should feel free to contact Leo Roy or Carol Lurie at 617-924-1770.

INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLICANTS:
Submit an MTC Application, response to the supplemental and a current resume to: Human Resources Office, Metropolitan Transportation Commission, 101 Eighth Street, Oakland, CA 94607. Applications submitted without all of the required materials will not be given further consideration. Application materials must arrive in the Human Resources Office before 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 15, 2008.

Applications may be downloaded from MTC’s website, www.mtc.ca.gov. or contact MTC’s Job Hotline, at (510) 817-5818, or email jobhotline@mtc.ca.gov. Leave your contact information and position applying for, to receive the announcement and application forms by mail. Faxed or emailed applications will not be considered.

Supplemental Questionnaire: Prepare a brief policy paper for two of the three policy issues presented below. Please be sure to describe the planning context, policy issues and challenges, analysis, and recommendations. Assume that the policy paper will be presented to policy makers for discussion and action. Limit your responses to a maximum of two sheets of paper (8 1/2" x 11"). Typewritten is preferred.
1. As part of the Transportation 2035 Plan, MTC seeks to make some significant strides in the areas of pricing, focused growth, climate protection, and new transportation revenues. While there will be some infrastructure investments that help us to make progress in these areas, the Transportation 2035 Plan must also lay out a number of action-oriented strategies ranging from legislative actions to policy changes to agency/individual actions that challenges “business as usual” and further advances our vision for the region’s transportation system. These actions would constitute the advocacy platform for the plan. Select one policy area – pricing, focused growth, climate protection, and new revenues – and prepare a policy brief that details an advocacy platform that the region could pursue over the next five to 10 years.
2. Fifty percent of the greenhouse gas emissions in the Bay Area are attributable to the transportation sector. The Commission has set-aside $10 million towards the 5-year implementation of an initial set of actions to be pursued jointly by the four regional agencies – MTC, Bay Area Air Quality Management District, Association of Bay Area Governments, and Bay Conservation and Development Commission. What specific actions should the region pursue to address climate change? How effective are these actions in reducing carbon dioxide emissions?
3. MTC is the lead agency on the preparation of a program-level Environmental Impact Report for the Transportation 2035 Plan. The Attorney General’s Office has informed several MPOs of the need to consider carbon dioxide emissions and the global warming impacts of implementing the RTP in the EIR. However, while there are a few advisory papers available on the topic, there are no significance criteria established for global warming impacts under CEQA. Should MTC prepare an analysis of global warming impacts in the EIR, and if so, what significance criteria, if any, should we use? If the environmental assessment found significant impacts, what mitigation measures should MTC identify in the EIR?
