What this can and cannot do

This is a request, not a law. The City Council is asking the New York State Legislature and the Governor to act, because the subject is outside the city's authority. Passing it commits the city to a position; it does not change the rule.

Summary

Requiring that any individual who is eligible for the Fair Fares NYC program and any person whose income is 200 percent of the federal poverty level receive a 50 percent discount on trips. (S.3887A/A.7316A)
