If one had some cost-effective engineering solutions for the Transit Authority, does anyone know an address and point of contact (specific name) ? I don't want to waste time with pubic relations. They have more secrecy than the CIA and their website is useless and they don't release e-mail addresses of staff names or who is in charge of what.

Hi,
What type of information are looking for ?
John,
I am looking to provide information. In the past I got a moronic answer from the public relations department that was obviously prepared by someone who didn't read my suggestion.
(1) Specifically, who is in charge of initiating and/or supervision involving construction of stations and tunnels
(2) Who is in charge of safety, involving engineering changes to cars or facilities
(3) Who is in charge of fire safety
(4) Who is in charge of the design of the new 179 model cars on order from Bombardier
Thanks...
Good luck. i'm almost positive strategic planning will have 20 different people for all the things you listed.Not a very efficient operation. One hand dont know what the other is doing and nobody wants to put their name to anything. Pas the buck type of thing. Sorry I know this dont help your question but like I said very inefficient operation.
Thanks. It seems impossible to even get an e-mail for a specific point of contact. Like putting your finger in a bucket of water and drawing it out. The public relations unit is not helpful at all. Incidentally. AMTRAK is not much better. I had sent them some engineering suggestions and the answers were incredible. It was clear the person writing back had no knowledge of mechanical engineering whatsoever, was unfamiliar with common engineering terms, did not foward the suggestions to anyone who could have made use of them, and the answers could have been written by a five year old.
Quite interestingly, I made several cost saving suggestions to the U.S.Postal Services (seven), and the response was terrific! They adopted all suggestions, and I got seven letters in return because the head of the Post office directed his subordinates to answer each point, and they took considerable time to do so and researched the pros and cons of every suggestion.
