Summary

The bill adds a new rule to New York’s vehicle and traffic law that eliminates central business district tolls when a strike, work stoppage, or declared emergency causes a transit shutdown of more than 24 hours or significant delays to MTA, Metro‑North, NYC Transit, or LIRR services. It also requires the MTA to refund toll charges collected from monthly ticket holders for any business day when service is interrupted. The measure takes effect immediately.
