Look for an outline of any physical requirements in the MTA job posting, and role description. If for any reason, you are unclear on the expectations in this role, it is best that you ask for clarification. For instance, if the job posting refers to 'heavy lifting,' it would be wise to ask how heavy, how often, and for how long.
If you have any physical ailments, it is in the best interest for you and the company that you disclose this. You do not need to go into too much detail; however, you do need to be honest if anything hinders your ability to perform the physical duties safely.

"I read in your job posting that this role requires bending, standing for long periods, and heavy lifting. Could you please tell me more about the lifting component? Although I am in great physical condition, I believe my limitation would be around 30 pounds of lifting multiple times per day."
