Bill > S04411

This bill directs the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and the New York City Transit Authority to collaboratively develop and implement new weekly and monthly ticket options that allow for optional, discounted transfers between different transit systems. Specifically, the bill mandates creating tickets that enable seamless and cost-effective transfers between the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Metro-North Commuter Railroad on one side, and New York City subways and buses on the other. These new ticket types will provide commuters with more flexible and potentially more affordable transportation options across different MTA transit modes. The changes will require coordination between the various transit authorities to design and implement the new ticketing system, which aims to make multi-modal transit more convenient and potentially less expensive for passengers. The bill will take effect 30 days after becoming law, giving the transit authorities time to develop and roll out the new ticket options.
