Scott5114:
We are quite honored to have among us a few members of our forum who are employed with their state's department of transportation or turnpike authority (or equivalent agency overseas). So that others can recognize this, we will add them to a special "DOT Employee" usergroup.

The only difference this has is that the words "DOT Employee" will appear under their username along with a green star. They do not have any special moderation or access privileges. This label is merely added to recognize that such posters are more likely to know the details about the projects in their area and have some insight into how departments of transportation work. Otherwise the DOT Employees are regular members like everyone else. We remind our members that opinions expressed by DOT Employees do not necessarily reflect those of their employer.

If you wish to be added to or removed from this usergroup, please contact any admin.

I noticed this designation. I'm cool with it. And my opinions definitely do not represent the policies or opinions of KYTC ... especially the current administration. ;-)

tollboothrob:
I sent the message for the designation, and wanted to post a message here to let people know. I'm a dispatcher (formerly toll collector) for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which is a great job for a roadgeek, IMHO. I get to be involved in the everyday operation of the roadways (Turnpike and Garden State Parkway) and believe me, you wouldn't believe some of the stories. ;)

Have a good day everyone, and look forward to chatting!

DaBigE:
Just throwing the idea out there...how about a designation for those of us who are highway engineers (private sector), and/or P.E.s?

vdeane:
Sent a PM to an admit to get added to the DOT Employees group, got a response asking for verification (such as an email from my NYSDOT email address), responded asking what address to send the email to, no response back.
