A 4648 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a no fare program for emergency responders on September 11th

This bill establishes an annual free-ride program on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) for emergency responders on September 11th. It directly affects NYC, Nassau, and Suffolk County emergency personnel including EMTs, firefighters, and auxiliary police who are employed or enrolled by those jurisdictions. The program provides free LIRR rides during all operating hours on September 11th each year, requiring responders to be in uniform and show official ID like a badge. This is a recurring policy change that does not impact existing free-ride programs.
