Requires the metropolitan transportation authority to establish a family fare ticket policy
This bill requires the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to create a discounted fare policy for minors aged 12 through 17 on all MTA systems and facilities. It directly affects teenagers in this age group who use public transit. The key provision eliminates the need for a parent or guardian to be present for a minor to qualify for the discounted fare. The policy would apply immediately to all MTA services without requiring adult accompaniment.
