Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the annual report on the reduction and abatement of noise on the New York city transit authority

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing public authorities law to require the New York City Transit Authority to provide more comprehensive and detailed information about noise reduction in its annual reports. Specifically, the bill mandates that the annual report must now include a thorough outline of all procedures and methodologies used to reduce and abate noise across transit systems. The expanded reporting requirements will compel the transit authority to detail not just the money spent and work completed on noise abatement, but also provide in-depth analyses of noise measurement techniques, existing procedures and technologies that might contribute to noise production, and noise evaluations for new equipment. The report must also include an assessment of the effectiveness of these noise reduction procedures and a detailed plan for future noise abatement activities. The bill ensures that this noise-focused report can be incorporated into the authority's annual capital report, but it must remain a distinct and identifiable component. By mandating more transparent and comprehensive reporting, the bill aims to hold the transit authority accountable for its noise reduction efforts and provide more insight into its strategies for minimizing transit system noise.
