§ 553-k. Traffic mobility review board. 1. The authority's board shall
  establish  the  "traffic  mobility  review"  board  (board), which shall
  consist of a chair and five members, that shall be made up  of  regional
  representation,  one  of  whom  shall be recommended by the mayor of the
  city of New York, one of whom shall reside in the  Metro  North  Region,
  and  one  of  whom  shall  reside  in  the Long Island Rail Road Region.
  Members of the board must  have  experience  in  at  least  one  of  the
  following  areas:  public  finance;  transportation;  mass  transit;  or
  management. The chair and the members of the board shall be appointed by
  the authority.
2. The  board  shall  make  a  recommendation  regarding  the  central
  business  district  toll  amounts  to be established pursuant to article
  forty-four-C of the vehicle and  traffic  law,  which  shall  include  a
  variable-pricing  structure,  no  sooner  than  November  fifteenth, two
  thousand twenty and no later than December  thirty-first,  two  thousand
  twenty,  or no later than thirty days before a central business district
  tolling program is initiated, whichever is  later.  Such  recommendation
  shall  be  submitted  to  the  board of the Triborough bridge and tunnel
  authority for consideration before  the  Triborough  bridge  and  tunnel
  authority  board may approve central business district toll amounts that
  may be established and adopted.
3. For purposes of recommending a central business  district  toll  or
  tolls  in  addition  to  the goal of reducing traffic within the central
  business district, the board  shall,  at  minimum,  ensure  that  annual
  revenues  and  fees  collected  under  such  program, less costs of such
  program, provide for revenues into the central business district tolling
  capital lockbox fund,  established  pursuant  to  section  five  hundred
  fifty-three-j of this chapter, necessary to fund fifteen billion dollars
  for  capital  projects  for  the  2020  to 2024 capital program, and any
  additional revenues above that amount to be available for any  successor
  program.  The  board shall consider for purposes of its recommendations,
  factors  including  but  not  limited  to,  traffic  patterns,   traffic
  mitigation  measures,  operating  costs,  public  impact, public safety,
  hardships, vehicle type, discounts for motorcycles,  peak  and  off-peak
  rates  and  environmental  impacts,  including  but  not  limited to air
  quality and emissions trends. The  board  shall  recommend  a  plan  for
  credits,  discounts,  and/or  exemptions  for  tolls paid on bridges and
  crossings which shall be informed by a traffic study associated with the
  impact  of  any  such  credits,  discounts  and/or  exemptions  on   the
  recommended  toll.  The  board  shall  recommend  a  plan  for  credits,
  discounts, and/or exemptions for for-hire vehicles defined, and  subject
  to  a  surcharge  imposed by, article twenty-nine-C of the tax law for a
  for-hire transportation trip based on factors including, but not limited
  to, initial market entry costs associated with licensing and regulation,
  comparative contribution to congestion in the central business district,
  and general industry impact. The board shall produce a  detailed  report
  that  provides information regarding the board's review and analysis for
  purposes of establishing its recommendations, including but not  limited
  to, all of the considerations referred to in this subdivision. The board
  shall not recommend a toll that provides for charging passenger vehicles
  registered  pursuant  to  subdivision six of section four hundred one of
  the vehicle and traffic law more than once per day.
4. The authority, its subsidiaries, affiliates,  and  subsidiaries  of
  affiliates,  the  city  of  New  York, and any state agency or authority
  shall provide any assistance necessary to assist in  the  completion  of
  the board's work and promptly respond to any requests for information or
  consultation consistent with the purposes of this section.
5.  The  Metropolitan  Transportation  Authority capital plan shall be
  reviewed by the traffic mobility review board.
6. Members of the board shall serve without compensation.
