Bill > S06796

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to exempt school buses from central business district tolls. Specifically, the bill prohibits charging tolls to school buses as defined in section 142 of the vehicle and traffic law when they enter the central business district. To receive this exemption, school bus operators must submit an application to the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority with the information the authority requires. The term "central business district" typically refers to the densely developed urban core of a city where major financial, commercial, and government institutions are concentrated. By providing this toll exemption, the bill aims to reduce the financial burden on school transportation services when buses need to travel through these urban areas. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
