Good Day,
Thank you for contacting our office. There are currently two(2) different methods in progress for hiring Cleaners.
The first is the non exam open application process which you have applied for. The application period ends on August 31, 2022, after which applications will be reviewed and candidates will start being called in.
The second method is canvassing candidates who have higher list numbers on the Conductor list which seems to be the case for your friend. You were not canvassed using the second method because your list number of 77## means you stand a good chance of be called for a Conductor position.
As of November 14, 2021, MTA New York City Transit is requiring all new hires to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. “Fully vaccinated” means having received both doses of a 2-dose vaccine and two weeks have elapsed since the second dose or having received 1 dose of a 1-dose vaccine and two weeks have elapsed since the dose.
