Transit electrical helper and you get a letter saying you failed first telling you to call the Medical review officer, then you speak with them then after that you get the most to see a SAP professional to get cleared basically

Just gotta see a SAP professional to be cleared and you redo the drug test bro

Just gotta wait to be reinstated to the list now. What bout you bro ?

Gotcha and same to you too bro

She referred me to an online drug and alcohol course. 12 hours so I just did some the sections day by day

Finished this course she referred me to now she’s going to email transit now and I just have to wait for their call back to start the process over. What about you bro ?

Yea she’s in Baldwin now and for her $200

I chose Lorraine, I think that’s her name he one that’s in south ozone park, and yea she said that too.

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

Oh okay cool cool, did she discuss what happens after yet ?

Sup guys. I've been watching the replys on this forum for some time and it really helped me so I figure I'll share my hiring process with you guys and hopefully it helps you. My list number is extremely low (won't give exact # being that some of the info I will give will make it obvious to whoever is in the class with me on 9-11)

 

To start : I was called in march of 2015 to start the process but did not respond due to a knee injury I was recovering from. When i fully recovered , I re-instated my list number which took about 3-4 weeks to get called down to Livingston street to start the process

 

I got a letter to come in sept 2016 to start the process. Took the drug urine test and got the results in October that I failed the drug test (tested + for marijuana). I was allowed to go through a substance abuse program(SAP) suggested by MTA. They give you about 3 SAP programs and you chose. The program cost about 600 dollars for 1 day. They just talk about how drugs are bad and things like that. When you finish, they give you a certificate and contact MTA that you completed it , then MTA contacts you to come back down to start the process over. Be advised, the lab associates were surprised that I was given another opportunity to the hiring process . They kept saying I'm lucky and that it's rare for them to invite you back down.

 

It took from 10/16-03/17 which is 5 months , to schedule and make the class for the SAP program .

 

After completing the program , the SAP never sent confirmation to MTA that I completed the program. I had proof via the completion certificate but they still needed the programist to personally confirm which took 2 months because , ofcourse, she was on vacation.

 

Took the 2nd drug in May 2017 which I passed. Next step is the medical/physical exam with the ekg test, blood pressure, hearing and vision, breathing test etc. Failed the ekg test and was put on medical hold. The mta doctors told me what Exactly my personal doctor needed to do/write to clear me. Came back a week later and was cleared but the class was full.

 

MTA clerical associates are very sloppy . Twice has my paperwork been misplaced or not sent to the correct persons to move up on the hiring process. I called in Augusts wondering why I have not been notified in July to come down and complete the hiring process. The lab never sent my drug test results from June 2017 which is why I missed the July class smh

 

Long story short fellas , be consistent with your employement process. I was calling about twice a week when I did not hear anything for 2-3 weeks at a time until my calls sped things up. They will forget about you. I waited one time about 2 months thinking that they're working on my application, then called to find out the status and they said they can't find my paperwork. If you guys don't hear back within 2-3 weeks, call them and inquire about your application or results or whatever it is you did last. Hope this helps

Hmm, just got the letter today, You know how much he program is yet ?

Hey bro did that 350 include the cost of the program too?

Oh okay bro, you received the list after you spoke with the MRO right ?

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