Community Board 11 unanimously backs state bill requiring 30 days' notice for transit changes
Summary
The Community Board 11 Transportation Committee voted unanimously to send a letter supporting Assembly bill A2010-A (William Colton) to require at least 30 days' written notice to community boards and local officials before significant changes to transit service; the motion passed with no recorded objections or abstentions.
Community Board 11’s Transportation Committee voted unanimously on May 11 to support Assembly bill A2010-A, a state-level proposal that would amend the public authority law to require written notice of at least 30 days to community planning boards and local officials before significant bus or rapid transit service changes.
A committee member moved that the board endorse the bill; another member seconded the motion and the committee chair called for a vote. The motion carried "unanimously," with no objections or abstentions recorded in the transcript. Committee members said the bill’s intent is to give local boards and impacted communities adequate time to review proposed service changes and offer input before changes take effect.
The committee directed staff to draft and send a letter of support to the bill’s sponsor and to notify interested board members of the outcome. No roll-call vote with individual member votes was recorded in the meeting transcript.
