Bill > S07371

This bill extends and expands the scope of the on-demand E-hail paratransit pilot program operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in New York. The bill requires the MTA to continue operating the pilot program through March 31, 2022, and to expand it by adding an additional 1,200 users from the MTA's Access-A-Ride paratransit program. The bill also sets guidelines for the pilot program, including requiring it to have the same fares and hours of service as the MTA's regular bus and subway services, and prohibiting any limits on the length, duration, or number of rides available to enrolled users. Finally, the bill requires the MTA to issue a report on the ridership, usage patterns, and costs of the pilot program by April 13, 2021.
