Job Summary: About our Administrative Specialist (Commuter Solutions Coordinator) Position: This position is a part of our Transportation Services department within the Facilities Planning and Management Division at UW-Madison. The Commuter Solutions Coordinator has primary responsibility in the Transportation Services Department for developing and implementing innovative Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies to reduce the number of single-occupancy vehicles traveling to campus. UW-Madison has 48,557 students (and growing), 26,755 faculty/staff, about 8,000 hospital employees, and upwards of a million visitors per year but only has 13,000 parking spaces. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ensures that all people can get to our campus since not everyone can drive a single-occupancy vehicle. The position thus supports one of Transportation Services strategic priorities, which is to promote alternatives to driving alone to reduce parking demand. Post-COVID, the university is seeing an unprecedented amount of parking demand, and the department needs to take a more proactive approach to influencing transportation behavior. The position will research and develop innovative programs to encourage and support transportation behavior change, make public presentations, develop outreach strategies for new employees, conduct information tabling at events, and assist employees and students with planning their commutes to campus in person and via phone and email.
