MTA Hero: Sharda Kalladeen trains workers for many roles with Long Island Rail Road
NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- This week's MTA Hero is Sharda Kalladeen, a Transportation Training Specialist with the Long Island Rail Road.
Kalladeen teaches several classes, training people in many positions including conductors and train dispatchers among many others. Her trainings ensure that employees understand the rules of their jobs in order to operate efficiently and safely.
She says this allows her to meet many employees and learn new things about the railroad herself.
Kalladeen has been with the MTA for 17 years and was recently honored by the agency at an internal Women in Transit Empowerment event.
