 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 1925

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 January 14, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. WEBER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Transportation

 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to certain
 construction work periods for the metropolitan transportation authori-
 ty; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration
 thereof

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that the cost of
 2 design of public transit projects for the metropolitan transportation
 3 authority far exceed national and global competitors. The metropolitan
 4 transportation authority's fiscal performance on recent major projects
 5 has severely limited further investment in maintaining, modernizing, and
 6 expanding transit service. It is imperative that public transit is oper-
 7 ated in a manner which delivers quality service to riders at an afforda-
 8 ble cost. While it is important to minimize service disruptions, the
 9 current process of stopping and starting work ends up extending the
 10 period of construction, and cost taxpayers millions in additional labor
 11 costs. It is therefore the intent of the legislature to direct that the
 12 work done on transit projects for the metropolitan transportation
 13 authority be done on a continual basis until such project has been
 14 completed.
 15 § 2. Section 1266-c of the public authorities law is amended by adding
 16 a new subdivision 16 to read as follows:
 17 16. In the design, construction, maintenance, or renovation of any
 18 transit facility, transportation facility, or equipment as defined under
 19 section twelve hundred or twelve hundred sixty-one of this chapter, work
 20 shall take place over a continuous period of time until such point at
 21 which the project has been completed.
 22 § 3. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 23 it shall have become a law and shall expire and be deemed repealed three
 24 years after such effective date.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
