The incumbent would be responsible for managing federal, State, and other discretionary grant funding programs in collaboration with external agencies including the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Bay Area County Transportation Agencies (CTA), and local jurisdictions as well as internal functional units in District 4, Headquarters and adjoining Caltrans districts. The incumbent would also be responsible for preparing discretionary grant funding applications for federal discretionary funding programs, California Senate Bill 1 - Road Repair and Accountability Act competitive programs, California Proposition 4 Climate Bond programs, and other State and local funding programs.
