Title of bill
An act to amend the highway law, in relation to city reimbursement for state highway construction within such cities
Purpose
To raise the reimbursement rate to municipalities participating in the Arterial Maintenance Program with the State.
Summary of provisions
This bill would amend Article 12B, Section 349C subsection 7(a) of the Highway Law to raise the amount of reimbursement from the current rate of not more than $.85 cents per square yard of the pavement area to a new rate of not more than $1.80 per square yard of the pavement area.
Justification
Many of the State Arterial Highways pass through cities and the state, in agreement with the local municipality provides a reimbursement of $.85 cents per square yard of pavement for maintenance and repair of said designated Arterials. This rate has not been raised since 1987. Raising the rate to $1.80 per square yard of pavement would provide greatly needed financial assistance to the local municipalities that have seen their costs rise dramatically in the past 29 years of this program. Raising the rate of reimbursement would go a long way to provide a minimal amount of financial assistance to localities that are already struggling to meet their infrastructure needs. Additionally, if the State was responsible for maintaining these highways, the fiscal exposure would far exceed the reimbursement that would be paid to cities under this bill.
