BILL NUMBER:S7625
Title of bill
An act in relation to directing the New York city transit authority and the metropolitan transportation authority to report to the governor and the legislature on transportation service reductions and eliminations occurring since January 1, 2008
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill requires the NYCTA and the MTA to report to the legislature and the governor on all transportation service reductions and elimi- nations since January 1, 2008. The bill spells out that the report shall include actual revenue savings as compared to anticipated savings for each route; the cost to fully restore each such change; a detailed plan for full restoration or a detailed plan for equitable restoration of subways, buses and commuter rail that substantially mitigate the impacts of the cuts and eliminations and fairly restores services through all neighborhoods and regions.
The report is due to the governor and the legislature on or before December 31, 2012.
Justification
This report will provide a clear picture of the service cuts and elimi- nations of transportation services in the MTA region since January 1, 2008. It should highlight inequities in how these cuts and eliminations targeted certain neighborhoods and/or regions of the MTA region and provide the Governor and the Legislature a clear picture of the resources needed to restore services prior to consideration of the 2013-14 budget season.
