Bill > S03887

This bill expands the Fair Fares NYC program, which currently offers a fifty percent fare discount on certain transit options, to include individuals whose income is up to three hundred percent of the federal poverty level, meaning three times the amount the government defines as the minimum income needed to cover basic living expenses. This expanded program will provide a fifty percent discount on trips taken on the Long Island Rail Road, paratransit services (specialized transportation for people with disabilities), New York City transit subways or buses, and Metro-North railroad, with the city of New York responsible for funding this expansion. The bill also mandates that the city conduct a public outreach campaign to ensure eligible individuals are aware of and can utilize the program.
