Strategic Corridors Program Manager

Strategic Corridors Program Manager

SACOG is seeking a self-starting team player who enjoys collaborating as well as working on their own. The Strategic Corridors Program Manager (Classification: Principal Analyst) will lead the ongoing development of the new Strategic Corridors program, including policy and priority initiatives, innovative funding strategies for regional priority projects, and coordination across teams within SACOG and agency partners.

This role is responsible for defining the scope, priorities, and outcomes of the Strategic Corridors program, including how corridor investments support Blueprint implementation, regional mobility goals, and performance-based planning.

SACOG has just adopted the region’s updated Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS), known as the 2025 Blueprint, and has focused agency program areas towards implementation and alignment with key Blueprint outcomes. For the Strategic Corridors program, this includes safety, efficient movement of people across the region, maintenance of existing assets, and leveraging regional and local funding sources for transportation infrastructure needs. To advance this, the Strategic Corridors Program Manager will act as a creative and technical leader for SACOG’s corridor-based planning work that requires big-picture thinking for the transportation network, including the ability to navigate competing regional priorities, strategically approaching projects across all modes, and problem solving with a diverse set of stakeholders and agencies. Priority areas for the program include (but are not limited to) safety-focused planning, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) strategy and implementation, comprehensive modal coordination, and congestion reduction/management strategies (including pricing).

The Strategic Corridors Program Manager (Principal Analyst), will supervise staff and oversee a variety of planning activities on the Transportation Team; collaborate and coordinate across groups within SACOG; and must foster a collaborative team environment. This position will be required to work collaboratively with a variety of external partners, including local municipalities, regional transportation agencies, and state and federal transportation entities. This position will report to SACOG’s Director of Transportation and is the highest non-management classification at SACOG.
