Traffic congestion is particularly harmful to the mass transit bus systems run by the Metro- politan Transportation Authority, creating delays and hindering the growth of essential surface mass transportation systems, and the entire mass transit system suffers from severe overcrowding. The negative impact of traffic congestion in New York city on the health, economy and mass transit systems of the downstate region, as well as the overcrowd- ing of the region's mass transit systems, were established at legisla- tive hearings in the spring of 2007, as well as during the hearings and reports of the legislatively created New York City Traffic Mitigation Commission. During these hearings, it was established that a very large number of New York city employees drive to work both from points within New York city and without, that New York city lacks a working and adequate telecommuting program for its employees, and that an effective telecommuting program would significantly reduce the number of such EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
