AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to directing the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority to implement a toll discount plan for residents of Orange, Rockland, Dutchess and Putnam counties; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon the expiration thereof

AI Summary

This bill directs the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority to implement a toll discount program for commuters from Orange, Rockland, Dutchess, and Putnam counties who work in New York City during the Central Business District (CBD) tolling program. Qualifying commuters will receive a 25% discount on the first ten trips each calendar month and a 50% discount on subsequent trips, provided they make at least ten trips per month. To be eligible, commuters must be full-time residents of the specified counties, own or lease a vehicle registered to an address in those counties, commute to New York City at least ten days per month, and be current E-ZPass NY customers with a local mailing address. The program applies only to passenger vehicles used for personal commuting and will remain in effect as long as the CBD tolling program is active. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law and will automatically be repealed when the CBD tolling program ends, with the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority required to notify the legislative bill drafting commission when the program ceases.
