I meant I think they hired him as a consultant, not as an employee.I very much doubt it. I became acquainted with Sam in early 1978, when he was with NYCDOT as Director of Planning. I was a member of a citizens advisory committee that was formed by the Koch Administration. We met regularly, discussing several traffic issues. There are many constraints regarding outside consulting for full time NYC employees. I doubt Sam would risk his DOT professional job for outside consulting. Indeed, Sam has hesitant about being promoted to First Deputy Commissioner because he would loose civil service status. However a current employee of Sam Schwartz spent his entire career at MTA Surface and did all the bus planning there until 1981 when I was hired to assume his function as the chief bus planner. He was the one who probably designed the first draft if indeed the MTA hired Sam Schwartz as a consultant. There's something amiss with this timeline. Sam Schwartz Engineering wasn't formed until 1995. Ergo, nobody working since 1981 could have spent his career at Sam Schwartz Engineering. Sam Schwartz sold the company and its name in 2015. |
