BILL NUMBER:S1388A

Title of bill

An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to enacting the "MTA safety data reporting act"

Purpose or general idea

This bill would require the MTA to submit annual reports on attacks, injuries or deaths reported to or otherwise known to it in connection with its facilities and premises.

Summary of specific provisions

Adds a new section 1269-h to the public authorities law that requires:

1) An annual report be submitted to the governor, speaker of the assembly, and president of the senate on assaults and attacks on MTA employees, passengers, and other non-employees in connection with bus, subway, and train equipment owned/operated by MTA or its subsidiaries. Additionally, the report shall provide recommendations to avoid or reduce the frequency of such assaults and attacks.

2) An annual report be submitted to the governor, speaker of the assembly, and president of the senate on injuries or deaths to employees, passengers, and other non-employees caused by physical infrastructure, safety, condition, security, or other health hazards identified by MTA in connection with bus, subway, and train equipment owned/operated by MTA or its subsidiaries. Additionally, the report shall provide recommendations to avoid or reduce the frequency of such injuries.

Justification

By reporting instances of assaults and attacks and injuries from physical infrastructure, safety, condition, security, and other health hazards on MTA employees, passengers and other non-passengers, the MTA can establish a means for effective policy to remediate such hazards to such people.

Prior legislative history

2010: Referred to Transportation Reported and committed to Finance 2009: Referred to Transportation Reported and Committed to Finance

Fiscal implications for state and local governments

This legislation merely adds an additional categorical requirement to an already existing reporting system, thus there would be no additional cost.
