 Introduced  by  Sen.  DeFRANCISCO -- read twice and ordered printed, and
   when printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules
 
 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, the state  finance  law  and
   the  tax  law,  in  relation  to the funding of the multi-year capital
   program  of  the  metropolitan  transportation  authority  and   other
   regional transportation systems
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings and declaration  of  purpose.  1.  The
 metropolitan  transportation  authority  (MTA),  regional transportation
 systems and other transportation infrastructure are essential to meeting
 the basic mobility and economic needs of the citizens in the state.  The
 contributions of such mass transportation services are also essential to
 addressing  fundamental  environmental  policy  and  social needs of the
 state's residents.
   2. The MTA, regional transportation systems and  other  transportation
 infrastructure  must  continue  to  function  as the primary provider of
 reasonably priced, safe and reliable mass transportation services.    It
 is of vital importance to the ability of the metropolitan transportation
 authority  to  meet the continued need for mobility and for the economic
 health of the MTA and the state that  additional  dedicated  sources  of
 reliable funding are made promptly available.
   3.  It is the intent of the legislature to continue to fund the multi-
 year capital program  of  the  MTA  and  other  regional  transportation
 systems to ensure the continuation of reasonable fares and provide for a
 safe, reliable, efficient mass transportation system.
   4.  Multi-year investment in transportation infrastructure is critical
 to economic development and the safe and reliable movement  of  citizens
 and goods in the state.
