Withdraws Orange county from the metropolitan commuter transportation district
This bill allows Orange County to withdraw from the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District (MCTD), the regional agency managing commuter rail services. To withdraw, Orange County must submit a public transportation plan ensuring continued rail service to New York City, secure a rail service agreement, and gain approval from the transportation commissioner. The bill specifically deems Orange County as having planned withdrawal within one year of the bill's effective date, streamlining its exit. This is a procedural change affecting Orange County's transit operations and its relationship with the MCTD, without creating new services or funding.
