Bill > A02010

This bill amends the New York Public Authorities Law to require the New York City Transit Authority to provide at least 30 days' written notice to both the mayor and the local community board before making any substantial or general change to service levels on its rapid transit (subway) or omnibus (bus) facilities. Specifically, the bill removes the requirement to notify the "board of estimate" (a former city governance body that no longer exists) and replaces it with a requirement to notify the specific community board in whose jurisdiction the transit service change will occur. This change ensures that local community boards will be informed in advance about potential modifications to transit services in their area, potentially giving residents more opportunity to provide input or prepare for service changes. The bill is designed to improve communication between the transit authority and local communities and takes effect immediately upon passage.
