I have been an MTA Bus Operator in Queens. My probation got extended because of a red light camera ticket. Recently, I think I got flashed by a speed camera. I want to know if I will be terminated if I do in fact receive a speed camera ticket. My extended probation is supposed to be over in April & I’m just trying to get off probation already. Does anybody know if this will lead to a termination ?

Also lady I’m going to soon said she seen after the program and she told Transit that they’ve called them back

Which lady did you choose ? Basically after you complete the program you go to, you have to meet with that lady again & she’ll let the MTA know you’re fit to work. From there idk how long the MTA will take to get back at you....

Hey I’m in the same boat I’m waiting for the list of SAPs. Did you go through with the program ?

Yeah bro I’m in the process of beginning the progrom. I went to Ellyn Kravette & she costed $350 to meet with her. She referred me to another program & I have an appointment Friday at 1PM with the “Bridge back to life” program.

I recently took a Pre-Employment Drug Test for the MTA Train Conductor position. My urine came back positive for Marijuana. Therefore I received a “Verified Positive” result. I have now received another letter in the mail with a list of Substance Abuse Programs. Does anyone know if I am already disqualified from being able to obtain the position or do I still have a chance of I complete the substance abuse program ?
