To everyone still waiting the list expires on March 2025. And they do sometimes extend it another year. So it can even be March 2026. Keep hope alive everybody. Happy holidays!!

According to the MTA hotline phone number the last list # called was 425.

Mid 500s .. I’ll definitely will keep everyone posted if I’m called. I called twice the first time it said they up to 340 , the second time I called a lady said 326 so I just don’t know lol 

Welcome to Transit lol. Hopefully, they're are up to # 340. And if you're in the mid 500's than you should be called by early next year perhaps. Good luck to you & keep all of us posted on here!!

Forget it I seen your previous post for the contact information, thank you 

No problem, let us know when you're called. You are in the early, mid, or late 500's???

Ladies & gentlemen all who are still waiting patiently. The last list # called was 320. So, there is hope after all I guess!!

Some good news for all that are still waiting. My boy was called yesterday to report for a drug test today. His list # in the 280's. So slowly but surely it's starting to move again I guess.

So I didn’t take the exam for  ( Tppa OA ) position just did by resume and they called a few of us for an interview back in March 2022 . This Friday 5/20/2022 we had the pre employment session.  Did the drug test and turned in all paperwork along with the application. Now we wait for the background check to clear 3-90 days. We should be starting training mid Jun . It’s crazy how I see you people who took the test and have yet to be called for an interview or etc. For those of you who took the exam what tittle exactly did you apply for? Anyone else up to where I am and waiting as well?

Yea, that is true. I believe your position is called provisional. It's a foot in the door.

I am #626 on the list and haven't been contacted yet. I'll be sure to post here if I do. And thanks for all the updates and info you've been posting the past couple years, it's been very helpful. 

No problem. I hope we all get called. But in reality it will go to certain list # then that will be it. Hopefully, they will extend this list. It's set to expire in March 2025. You should be called in about another 2 years or so. Remember, this is a small department. So, hiring new candidates isn't quite common with this particular job title. My advice to all is: TAKE AS MANY EXAMS AS POSSIBLE THAT YOUR ELIGIBLE FOR!!!! It's a numbers game. Good luck to everyone on their journey.

Thanks for all the details & info you provided. Sure it will help some along the way.

No problem. What is your list # range? I am in the early 1000's. All I can do is hope that this list starts to move swiftly in the next couple to few yrs. Lol smh..

Here is a very helpful phone number: 1-347-643-7221. After calling press 0, then 2, then 0. When someone picks up, give them the exam # you took which in this case is "#8623" & your list #. The last list # called according to them was #207. Good luck to everyone!!!! Hopefully, we all get called.

Hey Starlight, curious how you were able to get that info out of the automated system. When one dials in, it prompts for SS#, then exam #, and then just says

"you are on the list" and really has no information past that. Can you map out how you were able to get the "last # appointed" out of the automated system. That likely would

be a very valuable piece of info for many on their respective exams/lists. I'm wondering as well if there's a method to find out last appointed using the datasets.

Thanks in advance if you can provide any info on that.

Wait until the automated robot finishes speaking before pressing the prompt buttons.

Call DCAS: 1-212-669-1357. Press 3, then enter your social security number, then press 1, then press 3.

Can anyone who has been called recently post their list # range please. Thanks

According to DCAS automated phone line 1-212-669-1357. The last # appointed for this list was 185.

Carebear1 said he or she was #168 not #198. Send Carebear1 a direct message & ask him or her. But you should be called any day now. Keep us all posted here. Did you email the lady in charge of hiring at Transit? Persida.Rivera-Acosta@nyct.com 

I tried contacting Transit & it's impossible to get a hold of anybody. This list is moving very slow being that it's a small department.

Just to let everyone know, when I contacted Transit. I was told there were no classes last month in January. And there are no classes scheduled for this month in February.

My list number is 9# and seems like 8 people ahead of me. Idk how you got called and I haven't started any process. What do I do?

Carebear1 said he or she was called with list # 168 not me. I am like in the early 1,000's so I doubt I will even be called. But it's good to keep the faith alive. Anyway, you can email this lady at Transit & she can help you. Persida.Rivera-Acosta@nyct.com

Hey guys. Just wanted to let you know they are calling people for this job. My list # was 168  and I was called to report Monday

Where you officially hired yet?

Ladies & gentlemen they're up to list # 87.

I called & emailed these people in Transit & no one answers or returns a message. Can someone here kindly post if they were called & what list number they are. Thanks!!

My list # is in the early 1,000's, so I doubt I will even be called. When I contacted Transit last week they're supposedly up to list #50 so far.

I call every month & get all different types of stories. They extended the old list as previously mentioned. So, I heard we will be getting our results this month, in January, or in June. To be honest they probably don't even know exactly when.

Starlight... is there a way to find out if the MTA is extending the previous List for one more year?

The previous list was extended. Not sure if it will be another year. And how do I know? I called the MTA employment number & was told that.
