NY S01554

Amends Public Authorities Law Section 1204-a to require the NYC transit authority to submit annual reports to the governor and legislature detailing progress on subway noise abatement.

Each annual report must include an itemized summary of monies spent, bids requested and received, contracts awarded, and work completed on noise abatement programs during the previous year.

Reports must include all subway noise measurements taken during the previous period with analyses, and a detailed analysis of planned noise abatement activities for the upcoming twelve months.

Starting with the second annual report, each report must include comprehensive statements of progress on all noise abatement activities that were planned in the previous year's report.

The noise abatement report may be incorporated into the authority's annual capital report as long as it remains a separate, distinct, and identifiable component.
