Bill > A07209

This bill requires the New York State Department of Transportation to develop a new signage program for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) charging and refueling stations along state highways. Specifically, the bill mandates that directional signs be installed to indicate publicly available ZEV stations located within three miles of an interstate or primary highway exit or off-ramp. The signs will be installed during routine maintenance of existing signage, and the program will be integrated with existing information centers. The bill defines a zero-emission vehicle as an electric motor-powered vehicle that draws electricity from a hydrogen fuel cell, rechargeable battery, or operates without directly emitting atmospheric pollutants. The signage program will be implemented upon federal approval, if necessary, and aims to provide travelers with convenient information about nearby ZEV charging and refueling locations. The act will take effect 90 days after becoming law and will apply to new signage installed or maintained by the transportation department from that point forward.
