“As part of this restructuring, 20 managers are being released from WMATA, including seven senior managers," the memo said. "More than one-third are from the rail side of the house. Others are in administrative areas, including procurement, for example.”
Metro’s chief procurement officer was John Shackelford, whose office received significant media attention late last year when a shortage of spare parts severely limited Metro’s ability to return out-of-service railcars to the tracks. It produced a railcar shortage, resulting in more crowded trains and platforms.
