You can try contacting Ronde Johnson she is the Designated Employee Representative for the MTA. She is who handles the people who completed the SAP program. She helped me out back in 2013 and I know she is still working with the MTA currently. Her email is Ronde.Johnson@nyct.com

Now I don't know if she can reinstate you but she is the one that you have to send your SAP completion papers to. You have to have your SAP counselor send her your return to duty papers via email and then also by regular mail. Even if you don't get reinstated by some chance I would still try to contact her and get them over to her so that way you have them on there file and you'll have no problem getting another job in the future with the MTA if this one doesn't work out. Good luck.

Thank you .

Try going to HR but honestly I don't think you should get your hopes up.

There's been posts' about this before with multiple users in your same situation and the same outcome happened to every one of them.

They failed a drug test, they were recommended to take a drug prevention course which they had to pay for out of pocket, after completing the course the person they met up with will send MTA an email with your application in hopes of them reversing their decision, you'll wait a while, then you'll get a letter from MTA stating they've reviewed your case and they've determined that you're not eligible for the job and will not be hired.

On top of that you'll also be informed that you're not allowed to apply for any transit positions for the next year. I think the wait-a-year thing is a bit harsh but unless they've made an update to their 2018/2019 hiring process that I'm unaware of then it's still normal protocol. 

Thank you

I know a few people that are currently employees that went through this same process and got called once they we’re done with the program, but idk if they went through with transit’s program or there own neva heard of anybody paying for anything and I believe you was suppose reinstated once you you we’re told that you failed. But i would go up to 180 livingston with all your paper work and the lady name that told you to reinstate after you completed the program.

Thank you

Hello to all , I've got a situation that I need some guidance on , I passed the track worker test 8600 with a 95 and with the veteran credit I ended up with 100 for the test so I was in the high 20.000's .

Now through poor judgment , I failed the drug test and the doctor called me and after all she said , she mentioned that I had a choice , either let it go or in an attempt to get reinstated , for me to take a drug counseling program that I was offered ,ok , well it cost me about $500 bucks for an assessment from a social worker to see as to which program to refer me to so I ended up in a virtual program that met once week for 8 weeks and I went through it and finished it and the social worker gave me a contact number to follow up with. 

I contacted the person to find out what would be my ne t step ,only to be told that being that it was policy to be taken out of the list once failing to pass the drug test .

So if that would've been so from the get go , then why fill my head with hope , make me spend around $500 bucks and waste 8 weeks plus end up being surprised with a scarlet letter to any and all future city jobs that I apply to .

So what say you that know more than me , I have plans to visit 180 Livingston Street's MTA personel (human resources) as recommended by an about to retire MTA track worker. 

Someone please help me. 

Thank you for clearing that up ,  much appreciated. 

Hi , thanks for the information , however , you mention that some things are done based on seniority , I suppose that it's that to do with your placement order on the results of the test of no .

Hello all , I got # 28 in the waiting list but hit a snag that I am clearing up to hopefully continue to be called for the medical part of the hiring process this month .

I understand from reading some posts that one gets a choice as to what hours and what days and at what locations one would prefer to work , now , I live in Coop city in The Bronx , please excuse my ignorance but what are my choices to pick from to work at somewhere near me or not too far from me .

Is there a current class for hiring for track worker exam 8600 and if so when is the next upcoming class .
