This bill amends the Public Authorities Law to require the Metro-North Commuter Railroad Company and the New York City Transit Authority to establish a no-fare program for the transportation of certain active-duty, uniformed police officers. The bill defines the eligible police officers as those employed in good standing with active law enforcement responsibilities within the metropolitan commuter transportation district, as defined in the Criminal Procedure Law. The bill outlines provisions for the program, including requiring officers to register with the railroad companies, state their regular working hours and expected train schedules, and present law enforcement identification when using the program.
