Relates to a half fare rate program in the MTA for veterans

This bill requires the MTA to create a half-fare transit program specifically for eligible New York veterans. It defines "veteran" as an honorably discharged U.S. military member with a valid veteran ID card who resides in New York. Crucially, the MTA cannot fund this program using its regular operating or capital budgets; it must use only state appropriations specifically designated for this purpose. The program takes effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
