Statement from MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak and Boston Carmen’s Union President Jim Evers
February 10, 2020
As we mourn the loss of MBTA Bus Operator Sanyi Harris, we ask that people continue to keep her family, friends, and colleagues in their thoughts and prayers. Sanyi was a dedicated mother, employee, friend, and Union sister at the MBTA since 2011.
Bus Operators perform a difficult job and are crucial to the delivery of the MBTA’s core services.
Sanyi’s death is an immense tragedy and her family, friends, and colleagues are owed a thorough investigation into the circumstances to determine the cause of this accident, as well as any potential risks that could have been contributing factors.
The T and the Union will have no further comment until the investigation is complete.
The MBTA offers access to grief counseling 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through the T’s Employee Assistance Program, which can be contacted at 617-222-5381.
