About MassDOT:

An agency on the move, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) takes great pride in connecting the Commonwealth’s residents and communities. Powered by a growing data-analytics discipline – and working in conjunction with municipalities, public agencies and the private sector – we’re finding new ways to improve the Bay State’s transportation infrastructure.

MassDOT is responsible for developing, implementing, and coordinating transportation policies and projects for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and to efficiently plan, design, construct, and maintain a safe statewide transportation system which effectively meets the transportation needs of the Commonwealth.

MassDOT’s divisions include: Highway, Aeronautics, Registry of Motor Vehicles, Rail & Transit, and Planning & Enterprise Services. There are approximately 3,600 employees across the organization.

MassDOT’s goal is to provide employees with greater flexibility in when and where they work while continuing to execute MassDOT’s Safety and Customer Service Mission. Furthermore, MassDOT will be doing our part to lead by example in reducing congestion and greenhouse gas emissions by minimizing overall workplace commuting travel during peak hours through telework and schedule flexibility.

This position has a high degree of remote flexibility once established in the role. The selected candidate will be expected to follow a hybrid work model that consists of both in-office and work from home days, as needed.

Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Assisting to develop Crash Performance Functions and other statistical models to evaluate safety performance.
  • Pull and analyze crash data, traffic data, road data and other data sets to understand impacts of crashes or incidents (short duration) on traffic flow/routing and speed, understand impacts of construction/work zones (short to medium duration) and understand impacts of planned events  or project countermeasures (longer term duration).
  • Assist the Traffic and Safety Engineering staff with complex querying of geospatial and other databases as well as asset management systems for signs, markings, signals and other infrastructure.
  • Develops database to track effectiveness of funded police enforcement programs and other needs.
  • Uses Python, Sql and other programming tools to conduct traffic and/or safety analysis.
  • Designs automated programs / routines to accommodate Traffic and Safety
  • Engineering staff needs (Previously, work has included integration of speed regulations into GIS, automatically integrating WAZE data with other traffic and safety data, etc.)
