ELIGIBLE LIST TRACKER · UPDATED DAILY
MTA NYCT Train Operator eligible lists
Every active MTA NYCT Train Operator list and the scores behind the list numbers, and each time a list has gone to a hiring pool. From the city's own open data, as of Sep 29, 2026.
How these lists actually move
Once a list is established, an agency that needs to hire asks for a certification: the city sends it names from the list, the agency mails each one a call letter and holds a hiring pool. DCAS is plain that a call letter is not an offer of employment, that a certification is good for 30 days, and that ignoring a call letter can get you removed from the list. Each appointment is one of the three highest-standing names who are qualified and willing.
What the data shows about MTA NYCT Train Operator lists: of the 2 lists on this page that have been certified, 1 sent at least 97% of their names in their very first certification. So here a certification can cover only part of a list, and the lists do not all move the same way — the table below shows when each one was first certified and how often.
Nothing here predicts a date. The city itself says it cannot tell when a candidate will be reached, and that the hiring agency contacts you at your e-mail of record if you are.

“Names” counts everyone on the list, including people already appointed or removed — the city keeps them on the list and marks them off-side, so this is not the number still waiting.
