All,

We are fast approaching the deadline to complete MANDATORY ethics training required by New York State’s Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government (COELIG).  NFTA’s internal deadline is October 31, 2026. COELIG’s hard and fast, non-negotiable deadline is December 31, 2026.

While we have been conducting numerous sessions throughout the year at various Authority locations, those opportunities are dwindling. You are welcome to attend live ethics training given directly by COELIG. COELIG provides interactive online training that satisfies the requirement that it be “live”.  If you click on the following link and scroll down to CETC Training Calendar and click on the Open Sessions button for the months of October, November, or December, it will provide a drop-down of sessions that you can enroll in and do right at your desk. When you complete the training, COELIG will auto-generate a certificate that confirms you completed the class. Visit: https://ethics.ny.gov/comprehensive-ethics-training-course-cetc-openings.

Please complete this training as soon as possible to avoid running afoul of your statutory obligations. An updated list of those in need of training will be provided to members of the Management Team. Please reach out with any questions or requests for assistance with accessing the site.

Best,

Vicky-Marie Brunette, General Counsel
