The Legislative Representative will have two to four years of lobbying experience with a trade association, public transportation agency, corporation or consulting lobbying firm, or an equivalent level of experience as legislative staff in a congressional office or in the Executive Branch. A Bachelor's degree in Political Science, Public Policy, Public Administration, or similar field is required.  A Master’s degree in a related field is considered a plus. Knowledge of federal transit and passenger rail policies and programs, major issues and priorities in public transportation, and the federal legislative process, including authorization and appropriations issues, is required. Strong oral and written communication skills are also required.
