TDM Coordinator

Overview

ALTRANS is a Transportation Demand Management company skilled at identifying alternative transportation needs, developing shuttle and commute services, route optimization and management of turn-key Transportation Demand Management (TDM) operations. ALTRANS staff have been actively engaged in alternative transportation planning and trip reduction services for the last 25 years.

As a result of this work, we have been the recipient of various Transportation Demand Management and trip-reduction related awards from local and nationally recognized organizations such as Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Under the direction of ALTRANS’ management, the Site and Area Coordinator II position will be assigned to work on Transportation Demand Management Programs with ALTRANS’ current and future client base in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Strengths Based Approach

At ALTRANS, we are constantly striving toward a strengths based deployment of our team. Simply, this means having people do what they are best at. This flows from our core value of “Interdependence: 1+1=3.” We can achieve so much more if, instead of being proficient at everything, we are excellent at a few things.

An example of this is an annual commute survey and the ensuing report that goes to the client. Instead of each staff person conducting the process from start to end for their respective site, we work as a team, lending each other skills where needed, such as survey development, quality assurance, analysis, and reporting.

The former discusses the client-side of our work. Likewise, we are committed to being a strengths based organization internally. In 2019, we discarded entirely the traditional performance review and developed a strengths based, goal focused annual review process. It’s led primarily by self-assessment, and encourages learning, professional development and aspirational thinking. We know building on strengths will yield far greater results than issuing demerits for weaknesses.

We hope this sounds like an organization and team that you’d like to join.
