New York A00170 mandates the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to install signage on mass transit seats, urging passengers to give up their seats.

New York A00170 amends the public authorities law by requiring the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to post signage over mass transit seats, indicating that seats should be given up for the elderly, pregnant, and disabled. The signage must be visible from all seats and may take the form of a sticker. Additionally, certain seats will be designated as reserved for these groups, with corresponding signage. The costs for these signage initiatives will be covered by appropriated funds from the state of New York, not from the authority's operating or capital budgets.
