Bill > S00935

This bill amends the Public Authorities Law to require the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to establish a free fare program for firefighters and fire officers employed by the City of New York on multiple transit systems, specifically the New York City Transit Authority systems, the Long Island Rail Road, and the Metro-North Commuter Railroad Company. The free fare program would be operational during all hours that these transit services are provided, without any restrictions on peak or off-peak hours. This means that eligible New York City firefighters would be able to ride these transit systems at no cost throughout the entire service schedule, regardless of the time of day. The bill is designed to provide a benefit to firefighters by eliminating transportation costs for their commutes and professional travel. The legislation would take effect immediately upon enactment.
