The Opportunity:
The Senior Program Manager for Transportation Equity will advance transportation equity policy initiatives in California, and at times, nationally, that promote racial and economic equity and provide direct, meaningful and measurable benefits to low-income communities and communities of color. To achieve this, this role will engage in budget advocacy, legislative and regulatory proceedings. Additionally, this role will work with with other internal policy staff, policymakers, community and policy advocates, coalitions, funders, and regulatory agencies such as the California Air Resources Board (CARB), California Energy Commission (CEC) , California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and California Transportation Commission (CTC). Key issues may include, but are not limited to transportation electrification, alternative mobility options, charging infrastructure and workforce development. This role represents a critical voice in ensuring that policies and budget allocations in service of an ambitious climate agenda center communities of color and those most directly impacted by the climate crisis.
