The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is the Department of Transportation agency that funds and oversees public transportation, providing grants to transit agencies for buses, rail, ferries and paratransit and overseeing their safety, civil rights compliance and use of federal funds. It works from headquarters in Washington and regional offices that manage the relationship with the transit agencies in their states.
Recent listings have included a lead transportation program specialist and a supervisory transportation program specialist, both filled under direct hire authority, contract specialists, including one direct hire position seeking subject matter expertise, and an attorney advisor.
Applying tip: transportation program specialists at FTA manage grants and oversee projects, so experience with federal grant administration, transit project delivery or oversight of recipients is what the announcements rate, and direct hire means the agency can select any qualified applicant without rating and ranking or veterans’ preference. The veterans’ preference guide explains where preference does and does not apply, and the program management guide covers the specialist roles.
