NY Veh & Traf L § 1701 (2021)
2021 New York Laws VAT - Vehicle and Traffic Title 8 - Respective Powers of State and Local Authorities Article 44-C - Central Business District Tolling Program 1701 - Legislative Findings and Declaration.

§  1701. Legislative findings and declaration. The ongoing failures of   the   tracks,   signals,   switches,   electrical   power,   and   other   transportation  infrastructure  throughout the subway system in the city   of New York continue to have a significant  deleterious  impact  on  the   health,  safety,  and  livelihood  of  commuters, tourists, resident New   Yorkers, as well as business and commerce in the  metropolitan  commuter   transportation  district, which is the recognized economic engine of the   state of New York, and thereby have adversely affected  the  economy  of   the  state of New York. Temporary actions have been taken to address the   safety of subway, bus  and  commuter  rail  riders  in  the  short  term   including an emergency declaration and increased capital funding for the   subways  in  the  most  recently  adopted state budget. The legislature,   however,  determines  that  a  long-term  and  sustainable  solution  is   necessary  in  order to ensure stable and reliable funding to repair and   revitalize this significantly important mass transit asset.The legislature further finds and declares that traffic congestion  in   the  city  of  New  York  ranks  second worst among cities in the United   States and third worst  among  cities  in  the  world,  and  results  in   significant  cost  to the New York metropolitan area economy and in turn   the state's economy at estimates exceeding one hundred  billion  dollars   over  the  next  five  years.  Travel  speeds  in the city of New York's   central business district have dropped more than  seventeen  percent  in   two  thousand sixteen to an average of 6.8 miles per hour and in Midtown   Manhattan, the most congested area of the city-the area from fifty-ninth   street to  thirty-fifth  street  and  from  ninth  avenue  to  the  east   river-the  average  vehicular speed is 4.7 miles per hour. Congestion in   these areas is crippling and impacts the everyday  lives  of  residents,   commuters,  taxi and for-hire vehicle traffic, bus transit and emergency   services, and is a significant contributor to decreased air quality.These issues have been recognized by both the Fix NYC  Advisory  Panel   and the Metropolitan Transportation Sustainability Advisory Workgroup as   significant impediments to everyday New Yorkers.In order to ensure a safe and efficient mass transit system within the   city  of  New  York  and  to protect the public health and safety of New   York's residents, a program to establish tolls for vehicles entering  or   remaining  in  the  most  congested  area  of  the  state is found to be   necessary and to be a matter of substantial state concern.

§ 1805. Plea  of  guilty, how put in. The provisions of section 170.10   of the criminal procedure law and the  provisions  of  section  eighteen   hundred  seven  of this article may be waived, to the extent hereinafter   indicated, by a defendant charged with a violation of any  provision  of   the  tax  law or the transportation law regulating traffic, or a traffic   infraction, as defined in this chapter, other than a third or subsequent   speeding  violation  committed  within  a  period  of  eighteen  months,   provided  that  he  shall  submit  to  the  local  criminal court having   jurisdiction, in person, by duly authorized agent, by first  class  mail   or  by  registered  or  certified  mail,  return  receipt  requested, an   application setting  forth  (a)  the  nature  of  the  charge,  (b)  the   information  or  instructions required by section eighteen hundred seven   of this article  to  be  given  defendant  upon  arraignment,  (c)  that   defendant  waives  arraignment in open court and the aid of counsel, (d)   that he pleads guilty to the offense  as  charged,  (e)  that  defendant   elects  and  requests  that  the  charge  be disposed of and the fine or   penalty fixed by the court, pursuant to this section, (f) any  statement   or  explanation  that  the  defendant  may desire to make concerning the   offense charged and (g) that defendant makes all statements with respect   to such application under penalty of perjury.
