Legislative findings. 1. New York state must have suffi- cient numbers of properly designed and maintained pieces of critical transportation infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels, roads, airports, ports, container ports, railroads and rapid transit services in order to retain its economic competitiveness and grow its economy. 2. Much of the state's existing critical infrastructure is aging, is experiencing capacity problems, has had maintenance problems, or in some other manner has become a candidate for re-engineering, rebuilding, replacement or supplementation. 3. The most critical and expensive transportation infrastructure in New York state to re-engineer, rebuild or replace is under the control or ownership of public authorities, and such critical transportation infrastructure, from time to time, is under consideration for sale, long-term lease or other transfer of ownership or control to the private business sector. § 2. For the purposes of this act, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 1. "critical transportation infrastructure" shall refer to bridges, tunnels, roads, airports, ports, container ports, railroads and rapid transit services owned by a state or local public authority; 2. "privatization" shall refer to the sale, long-term lease or other transfer of ownership or control of pieces of critical transportation infrastructure to the private business sector; EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
