Bill > A03737

This bill appropriates $2 billion from funds already allocated to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in the 2025 state fiscal plan to support highway and bridge infrastructure improvements across New York state. Specifically, the funding will be directed to the highway and bridge capital account of the dedicated highway and bridge trust fund, and can be used for construction, reconstruction, enhancement, and improvement of roads, highways, parkways, and bridges at the state, county, town, city, and village levels. The funds will be disbursed through a standard process where the state comptroller will issue payments based on vouchers certified by the commissioner of transportation. The bill is set to take effect on April 1, 2025, and provides flexibility by allowing for the appropriation of up to the full $2 billion as needed for infrastructure projects.
