New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which oversees the city’s bus, subway and commuter train systems, will join state agencies that are lifting the weekly Covid-19 testing requirements for unvaccinated transit workers starting Tuesday.

State employees were notified Friday that the mandate was being lifted, said Erin McCarthy, a spokesperson for New York State’s Office of Employee Relations.
