The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's director of safety was suspended with pay on Thursday, according to a state transportation official who requested anonymity because the matter remains under investigation.
The official would not explain why Cynthia Gallo was suspended, other than saying the investigation involved "misrepresentation regarding an employment matter" and that it was not related to a recent review that was critical of the MBTA's ability to pay for needed safety improvements.
The safety director does not have a direct role in creating the MBTA's long-term capital maintenance budget, the subject of the independent review issued last month.
Gallo, reached at home this afternoon, did not want to comment on the suspension, or to confirm it. "I don't know anything about that," she said.
Gallo was hired at the T in 1987 and became director of safety in 1996.
