WHEREAS, pursuant to Executive Order No. 168, a disaster has
				  heretofore been declared in the five boroughs of New York City and the Counties
				  of Dutchess, Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester that
				  incorporate the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Region in the State
				  of New York due to increasingly constant and continuing failures of the tracks,
				  signals, switches and other transportation infrastructure throughout the system
				  including at Pennsylvania Station located in the County of New York (Penn
				  Station), that have resulted in various subway derailments, extensive track
				  outages, and substantial service disruptions impacting the health and safety of
				  hundreds of thousands of riders;
WHEREAS, the ongoing failures of the tracks, signals,
				  switches and other transportation infrastructure throughout the MTA's rail and
				  subway system continue to pose an imminent threat and have a vast and
				  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 (MCTD), which is the recognized
				  economic engine of the State of New York, and thereby have adversely affected
				  the New York State economy;
WHEREAS, the track outages and service disruption necessary
				  to implement the Amtrak Repair Program, and other repairs necessary to fix
				  tracks, signals, switches and other transportation infrastructure throughout
				  the MTA's rail and subway system continue to be necessary to protect the
				  public, health and safety of commuters, tourists, resident New Yorkers, and
				  will continue to worsen the transportation disaster emergency that currently
				  exists due to the condition of Penn Station and the MTA's rail and subway
				  system as a whole; and,
WHEREAS, it continues to be necessary for the MTA and its
				  subsidiaries and affiliates to take significant and immediate action to assist
				  in the repair of the tracks, signals, switches and other transportation
				  infrastructure and in the mediation of such track outages and service
				  disruptions due to this disaster emergency;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, ANDREW M. CUOMO, Governor of the State of
				  New York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the
				  Laws of the State of New York, do hereby extend the state disaster emergency
				  declared pursuant to Executive Order No. 168 and extend all of the terms,
				  conditions, and directives of Executive Order No. 168 and the terms,
				  conditions, and directives for any extensions of the same for the period from
				  the date that the disaster emergency was declared pursuant to Executive Order
				  No. 168 until February 28, 2021; provided that the temporary suspension of any
				  laws, rules, regulations or guidelines pursuant to this and any future
				  extensions of Executive Order 168 shall apply to the extent the Chairman of the
				  MTA, or his designee, which shall only include the MTA's President or Managing
				  Director, determines it necessary for the purposes of awarding any contracts,
				  leases, licenses, permits or any other written agreement that may be entered
				  into to mitigate such disaster emergency.
