NY Transp L § 73-B (2021)
2021 New York Laws TRA - Transportation Article 2-F - New York State Rural Public Transportation Coordination Assistance Program 73-B - Legislative Findings and Purposes.

§ 73-b. Legislative  findings  and  purposes.  The  legislature hereby   finds, determines, and declares that:1. the inability of persons in rural areas to access public or private   transportation services often  is  detrimental  to  the  public  health,   safety  and  general  welfare because such persons are thereby unable to   receive  regular  medical  care  and  public  services,   do   shopping,   participate in specialized recreation and education programs, and obtain   employment;2.  the  number  and proportion of persons without access to essential   transportation services in rural environs is alarmingly high  and  could   increase  in  the  future,  thereby  further  increasing  the demand for   specialized transportation services in said areas;3.  added  social  burdens  frequently  fall  upon  state  and   local   governments because of involuntary isolation of individuals and families   in  rural  areas  who  are unable to obtain employment, public services,   health care, educational or other essential human services;4. lack of a comprehensive state policy to promote the development  of   coordinated  public transportation services in the state's rural regions   has inhibited the formation of such services, thereby contributing to  a   great  disparity  in  the  nature  and levels of transportation services   available in said rural areas and the inefficient use of  many  existing   transportation resources;5. such unique rural conditions as low population density, limitations   of size and resources and the general absence of private common carriers   call   for  more  innovation  and  flexibility  in  the  development  of   coordinated public transportation  services  in  rural  environs,  which   would  include  more  intensive  use of existing transportation services   that  may  now  service  a   single   clientele   and   are   frequently   underutilized;6.  existing federal, state and local public transportation assistance   programs are of vital importance in providing  mobility  to  persons  in   rural  areas  of  New  York  state,  and increased coordination and more   intensive  use  of  such  programs   would   or   could   increase   the   cost-effectiveness  of  these  programs  and enhance the availability of   transportation services to those individuals and families in need; and7. the establishment of a  rural  public  transportation  coordination   assistance  program  would or could increase the mobility of individuals   and families in the state's rural regions and make available to those in   need more of the limited transportation resources that now exist.8. the establishment of a rural transportation coordination assistance   program is intended to be in addition to existing programs and  services   required  of  the  department of transportation and this act shall in no   manner or means detract from the other services, resources and  programs   now provided by such department.

§ 73-f. Local  coordination  of  rural public transportation services.   Transportation services funded under this article  must  be  coordinated   with  transportation  services  funded by other federal, state and local   sources.  Public,  private,  and  private  non-profit  corporations   or   organizations  applying  for or receiving federal, state or local aid in   order to provide or  contract  for  public  transportation  services  or   transportation  to  the  general public and specific clientele groups in   rural counties, shall coordinate and  integrate  funding  and  resulting   services,  to the maximum extent possible, with services coordinators in   said counties in accordance with this article.  No  rural  county  shall   qualify for aid or assistance authorized pursuant to this article unless   said  county shall first appoint a services coordinator.  An individual,   agency or corporation may be designated a services  coordinator  by  the   county  executive,  if  any,  or  the county legislative body in a rural   county in accordance with rules promulgated by  the  commissioner  which   rules   shall   establish   criteria   for   selecting  and  terminating   coordinators. A rural county may terminate the services  of  a  services   coordinator at any time following established county procedures for same   and  may change its designation of a services coordinator at any time in   accordance with this  article.  A  rural  county's  designated  services   coordinator  may  request,  from  public  and private agencies receiving   federal, state or local aid in that county, information or data  related   to   transportation   services,  facilities,  equipment,  usage,  costs,   revenues and funds as he or she may deem necessary for the  preparation,   revision, updating and implementation of the county's coordinated public   transportation  service  plan.   The extent to which such information is   provided by agencies wishing  to  participate  in  the  program  may  be   considered by the department in the awarding of grants.

§ 73-h. Operating  aid. 1. For those rural counties having an approved   and implemented coordinated public transportation service plan which has   maintained existing levels of funding used  for  transportation  by  the   coordinated service and has documented the need for additional operating   aid,   the  commissioner  may,  in  consultation  with  the  interagency   coordinating committee on  rural  public  transportation,  grant  up  to   twenty-five  thousand  dollars per year for operating aid for up to five   successive years, subject to annual appropriations to be included in the   state budget.  Such aid may be extended  annually  when  the  county  or   operator of the coordinated public transportation service has adequately   demonstrated  the  need  for  such  continued  aid and that criteria for   continuing aid established by rules issued by the commissioner have been   met.2. No such operating aid shall be paid to any rural county unless such   county  appropriates  and  expends  at  least  twenty  percent  of   the   coordinated  public transportation service's total annual administrative   and operating costs. Except for other public transportation monies  paid   by  the  department  to  the  county, such amount may include any county   funds used for operating aid, including funds used to support any  other   transportation  service, that have been appropriated to an account under   the management and control  of  the  coordinated  public  transportation   service.
