Bill > A02090

This bill amends the public authorities law to require the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to publish a comprehensive report on its website 30 days before submitting any amendments to its five-year capital plan. The report must detail the repairs and investments needed to restore the MTA's existing transit systems to a "state of good repair" (a technical term referring to maintaining infrastructure at an acceptable condition level). Specifically, the report must outline the dollar amounts needed and committed for restoring various transit system elements, including subway cars, buses, passenger stations, tracks, line equipment, signals, communications, traction power, shops, yards, depots, service vehicles, and handicap accessibility. The goal is to ensure that the MTA's transit systems can continue to deliver transportation services safely and reliably within the metropolitan commuter transportation district. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, requiring the MTA to provide transparent and detailed information about its infrastructure maintenance and investment needs.
