Transportation Planner/Analyst I (Policy and Strategic Planning)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe from first paragraph?), Responsibilities (Duties & Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Requirements & Qualifications), Qualifications? Actually we have Minimum Requirements & Qualifications, Preferred Experience & Skills, Job Conditions (maybe part of Requirements?), Benefits? There's mention of Intern/Co-Op Benefits but not for this role. No Pay, Schedule. So we include sections where content exists: About the role (maybe from first paragraph describing mission, vision, values). Responsibilities (Duties & Responsibilities). Minimum Requirements & Qualifications. Preferred Experience & Skills. Job Conditions (maybe as a separate section? Could be part of Requirements but we can include as its own if content). However rule: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Job Conditions has specific content, so we can include. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. We need to preserve substantive info but can drop EEO statements etc. However we must not remove content that is substantive; EEO statements are boilerplate, can be removed. Also remove navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out those parts. We need to produce HTML with

for each section heading, then content:

for prose,

• for lists. We need to decide what goes into lists: Duties & Responsibilities is a list of duties; we can make each bullet a
• . Similarly Minimum Requirements & Qualifications could be a list. Preferred Experience & Skills list. Job Conditions maybe list. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all points from those sections. Let's extract content. First paragraph: "At the MBTA, we envision a thriving region enabled by a best-in-class transit system. Our mission is to serve the public by providing safe, reliable, and accessible transportation. MBTA’s core values are built around safety, service, equity, sustainability, culture, and accessibility, and each employee that works for the MBTA performs their roles based on our vision, mission, and values. This includes attendance, participation, and contribution in local safety committee meetings as needed." That's About the role. Job Summary: "The Transportation Planner/Analyst I will help to advance the Authority's long-range transportation planning and work on large-scale regional projects contributing to multimodal transportation planning and quick-hit planning studies. Working within the Policy and Strategic Planning team, the Transportation Planner Analyst I will contribute to transportation studies or serve as the MBTA representative on studies being convened by other partners (including by other state agencies and by municipal partners). The Transportation Planner Analyst I will also contribute to the development of sketch-level concepts, route diagrams, transportation and land-use analyses, and decision-making frameworks to advance collaboration in key project areas at the direction of leadership." We could incorporate Job Summary into About the role or separate? The instruction: use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (including job summary). We'll combine the first paragraph and job summary into About the role prose. Next Duties & Responsibilities: list of duties. Let's extract each sentence as bullet. - Develop and evaluate project concepts and create maps and diagrams of transportation infrastructure. - Support development of elements of ongoing modal and multi-modal plans such as for Regional Rail and water transportation and other initiatives. - Support MBTA’s engagement in regional-scale multi-modal projects and plans by identifying and analyzing impacts and tradeoffs of different alternatives for planning, design, service, and funding. - Serve as MBTA representative on planning studies convened by partner agencies. - Support development and execution of process improvements to enhance multimodal collaboration with MBTA stakeholders and external partners. - Conduct research and analysis and communicate findings clearly and concisely. - Analyze, compile, and visualize data to support project-level data using excel, GIS, tableau, etc. - Draft clear, concise memoranda and slide decks summarizing analyses and design recommendations for presentations to various internal and external stakeholders. - Represent and work with local and regional planning staff, public community groups and others to ensure that projects and plans incorporate stakeholder feedback. - Visit work sites, transit stations, and/or attend off-site meetings throughout the MBTA service area. - Respond to customer, vendor, and coworker inquiries in a courteous and professional manner. - Adhere to the rules, and regulations, and policies of the Authority including the EEO, Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment and Anti-Retaliation policies. (EEO etc maybe boilerplate but it's part of duties; we might keep but it's policy adherence; could be considered boilerplate but it's a duty. However rule says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. This line includes EEO etc. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's part of duties. Safer to keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". This line is about adhering to EEO etc. That's legal boilerplate. Probably should remove that phrase. But we need to preserve substantive info; the duty to adhere to rules is substantive but the specific mention of EEO etc may be boilerplate. We could keep generic "Adhere to the rules, regulations, and policies of the Authority." Remove the EEO specifics. Let's do that. - Perform all other duties and projects that may be assigned. - Additional responsibilities may include a focus on one or more departments or locations. See the applicable addendum for department- or location-specific functions. We'll keep those. Next Minimum Requirements & Qualifications: list. - Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in Transportation Planning, Urban Planning, Geography, Civil Engineering, Business, Public Administration, or a related field. - Three (3) years of experience in transportation planning, engineering, and analytics or other related fields. - Familiarity with public transport planning principles and application, reliability issues and metrics to measure these. - Demonstrated ability to prepare plans to tight timescales within multi-stakeholder environments. - Demonstrated ability to build working relationships with internal and external stakeholders, influencing key decision makers to make a joint outcome. - Skilled problem solver with proven ability to resolve complex issues with skill, judgment, and ability to think clearly under pressure. - Strong analytical skills, data collection, research, and interpretation of outputs to various audiences. - Experience in at least one approach to advanced data analysis or transportation software (e.g., Tableau, Excel, GIS, CAD, Synchro, Vissim, Replica, or other). - Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. As part of the interview process, an Excel assessment or portfolio of work may be required. - Ability to learn quickly, take direction, work independently, and use creative and collaborative approaches to resolve issues. - Effective organizational, analytical, multi-tasking, and time management skills. - Effective written and verbal communication skills. - Have excellent customer service and conflict resolution skills. Ability to respond quickly and appropriately to changing deadlines. - Flexibility to handle multiple projects simultaneously. Substitutions: we should include as part of Requirements? It's additional info. Could be included as prose after list. We'll keep as part of Requirements section. Preferred Experience & Skills: list. - A Master’s Degree from an accredited institution in Transportation, Planning, Geography, Civil Engineering, Business, Public Administration, or a related field. - Additional years of experience in transportation planning, regional planning, organizational planning, or a related field. - Experience with GIS or other data visualization tools. Job Conditions: list. - Ability to effectively read, comprehend, communicate, and respond to instructions, orders, signs, notices, inquiries, etc. in English. - Be at least eighteen (18) years of age, except if participating in an approved high school internship / co-op program. - Ability to commute to assigned work locations in the Boston, MA metro area, as required by the role. - Ability to provide internal and external customers with courteous and professional experiences. - Ability to work effectively, independently, and as part of a diverse workforce team (or supervise, if required). - Ability to uphold the rights and interests of the MBTA while building and maintaining effective relationships with employees and co-workers. - Ability to adhere to rules, regulations, collective bargaining agreements (if applicable), and policies of the MBTA, including the EEO, anti-discrimination, anti-harassment, and anti-retaliation policies. (Again EEO boilerplate; maybe remove specifics but keep generic.) - Have a satisfactory work record for the two (2) years immediately prior to the closing date of this posting (unless if current student or recent graduate), including overall employment, job performance, discipline, and safety records (infractions and/or offenses occurring after the closing of the posting and before the filling of a vacancy may preclude a candidate from consideration for selection). - Ability to pass a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) check, comprehensive background screening, and / or medical Clinic screening, potentially including physical examination and drug and alcohol screenings. - Ability to work all shifts and / or locations assigned, directed, or necessary for this position, including (for some transit / operations roles) up to twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week as necessary to accommodate severe weather conditions, emergencies, or any other circumstances that may potentially impact service or the safety of service. - Intern / co-op staff must be enrolled full or part-time in an accredited educational program and maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 for the entire duration of the internship / co-op. Additionally, interns / co-ops must have valid work authorization and U.S. Social Security Number prior to starting pre-employment screenings / pre-boarding, working in their positions, and throughout the duration of their program. But note: This is a Transportation Planner/Analyst I, not an intern role; but the Job Conditions includes intern specifics; we might keep as it's part of posting. However it's not relevant to the role; but we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit unless it's boilerplate. This seems specific to intern/co-op staff; maybe it's boilerplate for all postings. Could be considered boilerplate. The instruction: remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, EEO etc. Intern specifics might be boilerplate. Safer to remove intern-specific lines? However they are part of Job Conditions; but they are not specific to this role. The rule says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we remove intern-specific lines, we are summarizing away detail (removing). But those lines may be considered boilerplate that applies to all postings; but they are still part of the posting. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Intern specifics not listed there. So we should keep them. Thus we keep all Job Conditions lines. Now Benefits: there is Intern/Co-Op Benefits section but that's for interns; not for this role. Should we include Benefits section? The posting mentions Intern/Co-Op Benefits but not for this role. Since the role is not intern, we might not include Benefits section because there is no real specific content for this role. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we should not include Benefits. Pay and Schedule: not present, so omit. Now we need to output HTML fragment. Structure:
