2017-S5754 - Summary

Directs the metropolitan transportation authority and New York city transit authority to study and report on the aboveground transit infrastructure of the metropolitan transit authority.

2017-S5754 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S5754

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to direct the metropolitan transportation
authority and the New York city transit authority to study aboveground
transit infrastructure

 PURPOSE :

Directs the metropolitan transportation authority and New York City
transit authority to study and report on the aboveground transit
infrastructure of the metropolitan transit authority

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 of this bill directs the metropolitan transit authority and
the New York city transit authority, in consultation with the
department of environmental conservation and the department of health,
to conduct a study relative to the amount of lead paint abatement at
aboveground stations; the degree to which the authority is in
compliance with the federal Clean Air Act; to establish
recommendations to further lead paint abatement; and, to determine the
fiscal impact of recommendations.

Section 2 directs the metropolitan transit authority and the New York
City transit authority to publish a report of their findings to the
governor, temporary president of the senate, speaker of the assembly,

and the mayor of the City of New York.

Section 3 sets forth an immediate effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

In 2017, the Metropolitan Transit Authority's 7 Line celebrated its
100th anniversary. While countless New Yorkers and visitors to New
York City have benefitted from use of the Authority's subways in the
past century, so too have stations shown their signs of wear and tear.

Recent media reports have indicated that among these signs of aging,
sizeable paint chips have started to chip away from aboveground
stations on the 7 Line, often falling onto the sidewalks and streets
below. As much of the paint utilized at these aboveground stations is
in many cases as old as the stations, falling paint chips reportedly
include lead.

It is now well known that exposure to lead can result in extensive
damage to a person's brain and central nervous system, causing a coma,
convulsions, and even death. Particularly vulnerable to the negative
effects of lead exposure are young children, and it is unacceptable
for aboveground stations to persist as a potential source of lead on
streets located below.

This legislation is necessary to for the Authority to determine the
extent of lead abatement that has occurred at all of its aboveground
stations, tracks and trestles under its control to date, as well as
for the Authority to eliminate any dangers from lead paint that may
still exist.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

None. New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

Nominal.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.

   Section  1. The metropolitan transportation authority and the New York

 elevated  subway and railway tracks owned or controlled by the metropol-
 itan transportation authority, regarding, but not limited to the follow-
 ing determinations:
   (a) review past renovations to stations to  determine  the  amount  of
 lead paint abatement;
   (b)  determine  the  degree  to  which the metropolitan transportation
 authority complies with the regulations under the federal Clean Air Act;
   (c) establish recommendations to further lead paint abatement, enhance
 air quality controls, and to ensure protection of public health and  the
 environment; and
   (d) determine the fiscal impact of any aforementioned recommendations.

 it  authority,  in  consultation  with  the  department of environmental
 conservation and the department of health, shall limit such study  to  a

 trestles, and elevated subway and railway tracks to be representative of
 all aboveground transit infrastructure. Testing shall include  all  five
 boroughs,  low-income  neighborhoods, and densely populated areas of the
 city of New York.
