NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A2236
 
SPONSOR: Hyndman
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to requiring cash lanes to be made available at certain toll barriers   PURPOSE: To require at least one cash lane be made available to drivers at certain toll barriers   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:   JUSTIFICATION: The provision of electronic collection of tolls for certain highway bridge and/or tunnel facilities offers significant benefits to the majority of the motoring public, including increased customer conven- ience, road congestion relief, cost reductions and enhanced traffic management, but it could result in causing inconvenience, aggravating congestion, increasing costs and lessening management control for motor- ists who do not have electronic toll collection accounts. The proposed legislation would insure at least one cash facility is available in cities of 1,000,000 or more to motorists without electronic toll collection accounts.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it shall have become a law, provided, however, that the commissioner of transportation is authorized and directed to promulgate any rules and regulations necessary to implement the provisions of this act on or before such effective date.

     4  metropolitan transportation authority toll  barriers  located  within  a
     5  city  having  a  population  of one million or more. The chairman of the
     6  authority shall establish, by rule or regulation, requirements  for  the
     7  placement  of  at  least  one  cash  lane  to  be made available for the
     8  collection of tolls and fares where electronic toll collection  systems,

    11  by the metropolitan transportation authority at a toll highway,  bridge,
    12  tunnel  or  other thoroughfare located within a city having a population
    13  of one million or more. Such rules and  regulations  shall  specify  the
