Bill > S07520

This bill amends the New York public authorities law to prohibit transportation authorities from imposing time limits or curfews on student fare programs. Specifically, the legislation prevents any restrictions that would limit when students can use discounted transportation fares, ensuring that students have more flexible access to reduced-price transit options. The bill applies broadly to any transportation authority and does not allow existing rules, regulations, or laws to override this new provision. By removing potential time-based constraints on student fares, the legislation aims to make transportation more accessible and convenient for students. The act is designed to take effect immediately upon passage, meaning transportation authorities would need to adjust their fare policies right away to comply with the new requirements.
