Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to expanding time-delay mechanisms on emergency exit gates
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), referred to as "the authority," must install and maintain time-delay egress mechanisms on all emergency gates at every subway station it operates. These mechanisms are designed to delay the opening of emergency gates for a short period, which is intended to enhance security. However, the bill specifies that these mechanisms must include override systems that can be activated in emergencies like fires, power failures, or during evacuations, and must also comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, ensuring accessibility for all. Crucially, the MTA is prohibited from using these time-delay mechanisms at stations that are not staffed by a human agent, and if a station becomes unstaffed, the mechanism must be deactivated until a trained agent is physically present and on duty.
