   (at request of the Governor) -- read once and referred to the  Commit-

 AN  ACT to amend the transportation law and the highway law, in relation
   to authorizing an airport mass transit project at  LaGuardia  airport;
   and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration there-
   of

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings. LaGuardia airport is a pillar of  New
 York  state's transportation network and a key driver of economic growth
 throughout the state and the country. However, LaGuardia airport remains
 the only major regional airport without a direct rail link.  The lack of
 public transit options forces passengers  to  rely  heavily  on  private
 cars,  for-hire-vehicles  and  taxis to reach the airport, which in turn
 results in higher levels of regional traffic  congestion,  unpredictable
 travel  time  to  LaGuardia  airport and potential adverse environmental
 effects. To support this important airport access mass transit  project,
 this act would authorize the acquisition of property interests necessary
 for  the  landing  of  guideway  support columns and siting of ancillary
 facilities for airport access mass transit equipment maintenance,  park-
 ing for persons using the airport access mass transit facility and addi-
 tional  limited purposes directly related to the operation of an airport
 access mass transit project, temporary laydown and  construction  areas,
 and  air  rights related to an elevated guideway and related entry, exit
 and crossing points for pedestrians and vehicles, and utilization by the
 New York state department of transportation or the transfer to the  Port
 Authority  of  New  York  and  New  Jersey and certain other parties, in
 either case to permit construction, use, occupancy, operation and  main-
 tenance  of  the airport access mass transit facility; provided however,
 this legislation does not authorize acquisition  of  property  interests
 for  a  self-standing facility constructed to house premises for automo-
 bile rental operations. The legislature finds and declares that it is  a
 substantial  state  concern, with an impact well beyond a single munici-
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
