2009-S3772 - Summary

Creates the New York city transit authority safety advisory panel to study and report on safety from terrorist acts and to provide a moratorium on the closing of token booths and minimum staffing levels on trains operated in passenger service in the NYC transit system.

2009-S3772 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S3772

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to creating a
New York city transit authority safety advisory panel to study and
report on safety from terrorist acts and to provide for a moratorium
on the closing of token booths and minimum staffing levels on trains
operated in passenger service in the New York city transit system


 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :
This bill would enhance the security and safety of subway passengers
by creating a transit authority safety advisory panel to study, report
on and make recommendations regarding safety from terrorist acts and
to provide for a moratorium on the closing of token booths and minimum
staffing levels on trains operated in passenger service in the New
York City transit system

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :
Section one of the bill establishes the "Transit Authority Passenger
Security and Safety Act" and amends the public authorities law by
adding a new section 1204-d to require minimum staffing on trains
operated in passenger service. This section outlines the conditions
upon which the authority shall ensure that at least one train operator
and one conductor shall be deployed on trains in passenger service.

Section two amends the public authorities law by, adding a new section
1205-b; The York city transit authority safety advisory panel and
Moratorium on the Closing of token booths. This section outlines the
creation of an advisory panel to study, monitor and make
recommendations with respect to the public safety from terrorist
threats and criminal mischief in passenger stations of the New York
city transit authority, its subsidiaries and the Staten Island rapid
transit operating authority and requires a moratorium on token booth
closures until submission of the advisory panel report

Section three of the bill establishes an immediate effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :
The threat of terrorist attacks in New York City demands that the New
York City Transit Authority make every effort to ensure the security
and safety of its passengers.  New York City continues to be a primary
target for terrorists after the attack in 2001. Security specialist
emphasize that the transit system, especially subway trains in
tunnels, under bodies of water or on bridges, are a prized target by
these enemies to our democracy who seek to generate maximum media
exposure and inflict heavy casualties on innocent civilians densely
packed into a small space. The presence of trained conductors and
operators on such trains can and do act as a deterrent to these
enemies of our country, and the presence of station agents in
protected booths within the system, can greatly facilitate evacuations
and reaction time from first responders in the event of life
threatening emergencies underground.  Accordingly, existing staffing
levels should be maintained at least at current levels, until a
comprehensive assessment and evaluation is completed by security
experts that will assess the systemic security needs of the mass
transit system in NYC in the event of foreseeable emergencies. To do
less not only endangers the safety and lives of passengers using mass
transit facilities, but encourages our enemies to exploit a perceived
"weak link" in our security defenses.

2007: A.8355

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
None.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediate.
