MTA consolidation to save $40 million
ByThe Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced plans to move ahead with its institutional initiative information, a consolidation plan designed to eliminate institutional redundancies. Among the plans are agency-wide programs for Accounting, Human Resources, Payroll and Procurement processing that will save the agency $40 million (and, oh yeah, 240 jobs as well). Now if only the New York legislature would allow the MTA to consolidate the management of their seven divisions. Just imagine the savings potential there. [MTA HQ]

Reports also state that they’re going to integrate the IT departments as well. No jobs will really be lost though. They just won’t replace people who leave or retire and reassign others.
It’ll be interesting to see how integrating the departments work out…sounds like it’s going to be a logistical nightmare.
