When must summer uniforms be worn?

The correct timeframe for wearing summer uniforms is from May 1 to October 14. This specific period aligns with seasonal changes where warmer weather typically begins around May and continues through mid-October. The selection of these specific dates ensures that employees are dressed appropriately for the climate while also maintaining a professional appearance consistent with organizational standards during the summer months.

Choosing May 1 as the starting date allows employees to transition into lighter uniforms right before the peak summer months, while ending on October 14 accommodates the variability of early fall weather, which can often still be quite warm. This ensures a balance between comfort and professionalism, reflecting the MTA's commitment to providing a consistent and respectable image to the public.
