In most roles with MTA you will be asked to communicate with your teammates and complete your duties, using a variety of tech and equipment. In the public transit industry, routes are computerized, everything is timed, and many tasks are automated. Be prepared to discuss your ability to learn these systems quickly.

"In my current role, we use a lot of technical equipment; primarily Motorola solutions including two-way radio, call handling software, dispatch consoles, video surveillance, and other network monitoring tools. I am confident in my ability to learn the tech used at MTA and will apply my existing knowledge as well."

"I am technically savvy and, although I am new to my career with limited knowledge of the tech used in public transit, I am sure that I will be a fast learner. I pick up on new tech all the time. If you would like, I am happy to get ahead of the curve by watching online tutorials on the equipment most commonly used here at MTA."
