Assists in preparation of the annual Agency and Service Boards’ operating budgets working with staff and management to determine specific line-item expense and revenue estimates.

Applies financial and operational knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to conduct research, analyses and planning evaluations of public transportation issues. Proposes and develops special improvement initiatives. Assists in the development of policy recommendations and provides guidance and input to senior management on such issues.

Attends monthly CTA, Metra, or Pace Board meetings and produces summary notes of topics discussed for dissemination to NITA staff.

Acts in a manner that is consistent with the Agency's strategic goals and objectives, as approved by the Agency Board, while providing service of the highest level to our internal and external customers.
