BILL NUMBER: S509 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the provision of express bus service to the south shore of Staten Island PURPOSE : To provide continued express bus service to the downtown and midtown business districts of Manhattan. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Section 1. Adds a new Section 1266-i, which directs the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to fund and operate existing express bus service routes servicing the South Shore of Staten Island within the city of New York to the downtown and midtown business districts of Manhattan. JUSTIFICATION : According to U.S. Census data released in early March 2000, Richmond County (Staten Island) is ranked as the fastest growing county in New York State. The South Shore of Staten Island, specifically the communities of Tottenville, Richmond Valley, Prince's Bay, Pleasant Plains, Charleston, Woodrow and Rossville, is the only area of its size (in terms of population and geography) excluded from the MTA's full range of publicly provided surface transit services to and from Manhattan's downtown and midtown business districts.
