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 Oct 19, 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 first recorded 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 the earliest certification we retain and how many we record.
Our certification backfill begins in 2020. For older lists, the first record retained here may not be the first certification ever issued.
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.
Read the sourced guide to list numbers, certifications, call letters and the one-in-three rule.

Stated vacancies are as printed on the certification; where a certification of hundreds of names states one vacancy, it is a placeholder and shown as not stated. Totals below 10 people and totals for a pool containing only one list are suppressed.

“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.

Look up your list
Your score band and an approximate pool-position range for your group of list numbers. This never confirms whether your individual number was certified.
Get an e-mail when your list moves
Enter your exam number. We e-mail you when that list is published, when it is established, and each time a certification includes it — within a day of the city's data showing it. We never ask for your list number.
Source: Civil Service List (Active) and Civil Service List Certification, NYC Open Data, published by DCAS. We show aggregates only and never a name. The City of New York does not vouch for the accuracy or completeness of this data, and neither can we — your official score, list number and any call letter come to you from the city.
