Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to commuter passes on the New York state thruway in the Syracuse area; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the New York State Thruway Authority to issue annual "short distance commuter permits" that will allow for free travel between specific interchanges, referred to as a "permit area," which includes interchanges thirty-four-A through thirty-nine. The Thruway Authority can limit the use of these permits to peak commuter hours. If an audit shows that offering these permits for free during peak hours causes a significant revenue loss, the Authority can, after holding a public hearing in the affected area, offer these permits at a discounted rate instead of for free. This law will take effect 120 days after it becomes law and will expire on December 31, 2030, at which point these provisions will be repealed.
