Purpose, from the sponsor's memo

To give community boards advance notice when service cuts are made in their districts. This bill would give the impacted offices more time to prepare comments in response to the cuts and inform the community on their impact.

The sponsor's argument

Why Leroy Comrie says this is needed

Under current law, the New York City Transit Authority is not required to give community boards notice when there is a substantial or general change in the levels of service provided by the Authority. Reductions in transportation service can severely disrupt the lives of commuters that rely on public transportation to get to school or their place of employment. Community boards serve as a mediator between those that reside within their respective district and the various levels of city government. It is crucial that the affected community boards are given time to respond and prepare their districts for potential cuts in service.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
