The Corridor Management Transportation Engineer serves as a key technical authority within TDOTs Region Traffic Operations team, responsible for ensuring safe, consistent, and efficient corridor management and egress/ingress access control to the State Highway System. This role focuses on managing commercial and residential driveway permitting, evaluating access requests, and coordinating with stakeholders to ensure proposed developments meet TDOTs operational and safety standards.

This position partners with the HQ Traffic Design and Operations Division, Asset Management, Region TMCs and Highway Response, and Project Teams to implement a proactive and predictive approach for addressing congestion and increasing safety. The Corridor Management Transportation Engineer provides technical support to developers, consultants, and municipalities throughout the permitting process. This position collaborates across TDOT disciplines including Construction, Maintenance, and Legal to identify and mitigate risks, ensure access designs are constructible and enforceable, and align permitting decisions with long-term corridor planning goals.

This position also plays an important role in consultant oversight, managing performance tracking, and continuous improvement initiatives. This position implements integrated operational strategies into TDOTs transportation network that leverage technology, restore performance, and increase travel time reliability. This position also supports broader Region Traffic Operations initiatives such as corridor congestion monitoring, safety and travel reliability, incident response coordination, and managed lanes.

The Corridor Management Transportation Engineer optimizes the technological and operational integration of TDOTs infrastructure by dynamically managing congestion using predictive traffic conditions, traffic studies, and supporting the deployment of Active Traffic Management strategies, Integrated Corridor Management, and traveler probe data information to improve corridor level of service. This position focuses primarily on access control and permitting, leading efforts to modernize permit processes, keep accurate records, and promote consistency, transparency, and technical integrity across the region.

These efforts support TDOTs mission to provide a safe, reliable transportation system while encouraging responsible development. The position also requires clear communication of engineering concepts through training, mentoring, and teamwork within a matrix organization.

• Review and assist the Regional Permit Operations with permits for commercial and residential driveways, field entrances, signals, and license agreements, ensuring compliance with TDOTs standards, procedures, and applicable regulations. Apply sound judgment to evaluate the impacts of proposed access control points on safety, traffic flow, and corridor performance while balancing local development needs with statewide mobility goals.
