This bill extends New York City's school speed zone photo enforcement program until 2030 (previously set to expire in 2025) and makes minor technical corrections to related traffic laws. It directly affects drivers in NYC school zones who may receive citations from photo enforcement cameras. The key change is the extension of the demonstration program allowing photo devices to monitor speed violations near schools, while repealing outdated provisions from earlier legislation. The bill does not change enforcement rules but ensures the current system continues operating through 2030.
This bill extends the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) existing authority to acquire and dispose of real property under New York State law. It specifically extends the provisions until June 24, 2028, while ensuring that any ongoing property acquisition cases (condemnation proceedings) underway at the time of expiration continue unaffected. The MTA, which manages transportation infrastructure and land use, is the direct beneficiary of this extension, allowing it to maintain current property management processes without disruption.

This bill allows the city of Peekskill to implement a photo enforcement program for traffic violations at traffic signals, making vehicle owners (not drivers) liable for fines when cameras capture violations. Owners would receive mail notices with violation details and face a maximum $50 penalty per violation, with photos required to avoid identifying drivers or passengers. Penalties would not count as traffic convictions or affect driving records or insurance. The program applies only to Peekskill and includes procedures for contesting notices and defenses for stolen vehicles.
Prohibits the use of drilling fluids, brine and flowback water from gas or oil wells, pools, or fields on any highway for any purpose including but not limited to de-icing or dust suppression.
This bill extends a specific law governing the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) ability to acquire and sell real property. It modifies the expiration date of the existing law, changing the repeal date from "six years after effective date" to June 24, 2028. The extension ensures the MTA can continue using the current legal framework for property transactions without disruption until that date, while allowing ongoing condemnation cases to proceed unaffected. This directly affects the MTA's operations related to land purchases and sales for transportation projects.
Authorizes the office of parks, recreation and historic preservation and the office of mental health to conduct a study pertaining to a proposed expansion of the Long Island Motor Parkway trail.
This bill requires state and local transportation agencies to design all new or majorly reconstructed public roads - including those funded by federal and state money - to safely accommodate all users. Specifically, it mandates considering pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and public transit riders during planning, construction, and major rehabilitation (but not routine maintenance or resurfacing under 10 years). Agencies must incorporate "complete street" features like bike lanes and wider sidewalks where projects meet certain thresholds, such as a 10-year service life for resurfacing. The law applies to all projects overseen by the Department of Transportation and takes effect 180 days after enactment.
