Consolidated Dispatch

The OSP has [or soon will have] consolidated dispatch operations into 21 regional dispatch centers where dispatching occurs for multiple posts. This was done in an attempt to save money, supposedly because there will be less need for overtime and dispatchers will not be forced to stay over if another dispatcher calls in sick.

Below are the consolidated dispatch locations along with a list of the posts that the particular DC is responsible for.
