Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to certain tickets on the Long Island Rail Road and the Metro-North Commuter Railroad Company
AI Summary
This bill amends the public authorities law to ensure that any one-way, round trip, or multi-trip tickets purchased by senior citizens or people with disabilities for the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) or Metro-North Commuter Railroad can be used at any time of day or night. Previously, these tickets may have had time restrictions that limited when they could be used. The bill removes those time limitations, providing more flexibility for senior citizens and individuals with disabilities when using these train services. By removing time-based restrictions, the legislation aims to make public transportation more accessible and convenient for these specific passenger groups. The bill would take effect 30 days after becoming law, which means the new ticket usage rules would be implemented approximately one month after the bill is signed.
