§ 201. State  agency  employee vehicle efficiency.  1. For the purpose
  of this section:
a. "state agency" means any department of the executive,  any  bureau,
  commission, agency, board or other agency, any public authority, and the
  judiciary and the legislature.
b.  "state office" means any building or facility in the state wherein
  one hundred or more employees, in aggregate, of  any  state  agency  are
  located whether or not such office building or facility is owned, rented
  or leased by the state.
2. Each state agency shall institute a program at each state office to
  increase  the average passenger occupancy per vehicle in commuting trips
  between home and the work  place.  In  the  area  designated  as  severe
  non-attainment  for  ozone,  as  designated  by the administrator of the
  United States environmental protection agency, such  increase  shall  be
  not  less  than  twenty-five percent above the average vehicle occupancy
  standard for such trips as such standard is  established  in  accordance
  with  the  federal  Clean  Air  Act,  42 U.S.C. Section 7401 et seq., as
  amended by Public Law  101-549,  November  fifteenth,  nineteen  hundred
  ninety,   hereinafter   referred   to  as  "the  Act",  and  regulations
  promulgated pursuant thereto. Where parking for a state agency occurs on
  properties under the jurisdiction of the office of general services, the
  state agency shall institute  such  program  in  consultation  with  the
  commissioner  of  general  services.  Where  parking  for a state office
  occurs on properties not controlled by the office of  general  services,
  each  state  agency  shall  be  solely  responsible for instituting such
  program. When instituting such a program, a state agency shall take into
  account the location of each facility, the availability of mass transit,
  and the scheduling of employees at each work site using  such  facility.
  Such  program  may  include  designation  of  parking  spaces to be used
  exclusively by multiple occupancy vehicles, provided that the number  of
  such  spaces  shall be determined with reference to the ability of users
  of such facilities to engage in ride-sharing,  provided,  however,  that
  the  designation  of  such  spaces  shall in no way displace handicapped
  parking spaces established pursuant to section twelve hundred three-c of
  the vehicle and traffic law. A plan for such program shall be  completed
  on  or  before  November  fifteenth,  nineteen  hundred ninety-five, and
  implemented  on  or  before   November   fifteenth,   nineteen   hundred
  ninety-seven.
3.  The  provisions of this section shall not exclude any state agency
  from any duty or responsibility to implement an employee trip  reduction
  program  pursuant  to  section  7511a(d)(1)(B) of the Act. To the extent
  permitted by the Act, programs instituted under this  provision  may  be
  used  to  comply  with the employee trip reduction provisions of section
  7511a(d)(1)(B) of the Act.  Implementation  of  this  section  shall  be
  consistent  with  any  agreements  which  may  be  made  as  a result of
  collective bargaining or other negotiations between the  state  and  its
  affected employee unions.
