MTA, PATH move individual sleep apnea screening programs forward

摘要

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and Port Authority Trans Hudson (PATH) have each taken steps to move forward their respective efforts to combat sleep apnea among employees filling safety critical roles. MTA is expanding its sleep apnea screening and treatment opportunities to rail engineers and conductors across multiple area networks to bolster safety for operators and passengers. The program began on Metro-North in 2015 and will be expanded to nearly 20,000 employees of the Long Island Rail Road, New York City Transit train operators and conductors, bus operators for New York City Transit and the MTA Bus Company.
