The Austin American-Statesman/statesman.com, located in the 11th largest city in the country and part of the USA TODAY NETWORK, is seeking an intrepid transportation reporter with the curiosity and tenacity to dig deep into the city’s and region’s transit woes.
Our transportation reporter is someone who can take complicated issues of funding, construction and planning and help everyday people understand how it affects the roads they drive on, the buses they ride and the safety of their community. They’re equally as comfortable submitting a public records request for an eminent domain report as they are riding the bus or rail all day and chatting to passengers about their concerns over a route change, limited transit options or safety concerns. This reporter will produce a mixture of daily, enterprise and project work, all with a digital-first mentality. This could range from a quick hit on a detour to a watchdog project on just how much public money is being spent on transit projects. But no matter the story, people and their needs should be the very heart.
