Transportation Coordinator

The Transportation Coordinator supports the operational backbone of Modus transportation services by executing day-to-day dispatch, ride coordination, partner agency, community member and passenger communication, and fuel tracking within parameters established by the Director of Operations. This is an execution-focused role: the Coordinator carries out defined ride scheduling and dispatch procedures and escalates non-routine requests, disputes, driver compliance concerns, and exceptions to the Director of Operations rather than resolving them independently.

This position requires strong organizational skills, a trauma-informed and person-centered approach, comfort with scheduling and data systems, the ability to kindly and promptly respond to community inquiries, and the ability to work independently within set procedures as well as collaboratively on a team.
