The sponsor's argument

Why Jeremy Cooney says this is needed

New York's transportation infrastructure is fundamental to economic growth, public safety, and quality of life. However, maintaining and modernizing these assets requires long-term planning and a clear under- standing of investment needs. This legislation establishes a structured, data-driven approach to infrastructure planning by requiring the DOT to conduct a thorough, forward-looking assessment. The inclusion of performance benchmarks, funding forecasts, and resilience evaluations will enable policymakers to make informed decisions regarding infras- tructure investments. Furthermore, public hearings will ensure transpar- ency and accountability in the assessment process.

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.
