S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 4625 2021-2022 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E February 8, 2021 ___________ Introduced by Sen. COMRIE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Transportation AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to enacting the metropolitan transportation authority open data act THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "metropol- itan transportation authority open data act". § 2. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that the release of data, in a format that is easily accessible, understandable and usable by the public, can increase civic engagement with government. In addi- tion, in an authority providing a public service and operating an enter- prise as vast as that of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, transparency in data is in the public's best interest. It is the intent of the legislature that the authority and its subsidiaries release as much data as is feasible in open formats, so that the public can access that data, analyze it, and engage with the authority with suggestions and solutions to improve its operations. § 3. The public authorities law is amended by adding a new section 1279-j to read as follows: § 1279-J. OPEN DATA REPORTING. 1. THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, INCLUDING THE NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY AND THE TRIBOROUGH BRIDGE AND TUNNEL AUTHORITY, SHALL FULLY COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF EXECUTIVE ORDER 95 OF 2013, "USING TECHNOLOGY TO PROMOTE TRANSPARENCY, IMPROVE GOVERNMENT PERFORM- ANCE AND ENHANCE CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT," AND SHALL PROVIDE THE NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AND LEGISLATURE ALL DATA AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION. 2. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, THE FOLLOWING TERMS SHALL HAVE THE FOLLOWING MEANINGS: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
