Good Morning,

The Maritime Administration’s Office of Intermodal System Development is seeking a Community Planner for the StrongPorts and Marine Highways programs to lead our planning and engagement effort with MPOs, State DOTs, and port authorities.  While ports and marine transportation providers are critical to the freight movement system, ports themselves are not always engaged in the planning process, which can lead to inefficiencies in the freight system.  The Community Planner hired by the Maritime Administration will be tasked with helping ports fill that gap.  The Planner must understand the intricacies of both intermodal freight transportation system planning and infrastructure development processes, and must be able to use this understanding to assist ports in integrating their facilities into transportation improvement programs and in securing necessary funds for infrastructure development.
