Bill > S01942

This bill amends the Public Authorities Law to increase Rockland County's annual allocation from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Dutchess-Orange-Rockland Fund (DORF) from two million dollars to ten million dollars. Specifically, the legislation modifies an existing statute that requires the MTA to transfer funds quarterly from its corporate transportation account to the DORF, with the Rockland County portion being changed from $2 million to $10 million annually. The fund is designed to provide financial support to transportation infrastructure and services in Dutchess, Orange, and Rockland counties. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, which means the increased funding would be applicable for the current calendar year. This change represents a significant five-fold increase in the annual allocation for Rockland County, potentially allowing for more substantial transportation investments and improvements in the region.
