Requires New York state public transportation terminals to install assistive listening systems and visual emergency alarms.

This bill amends the transportation law to mandate that all public transportation terminals, including airports, bus stations, rest areas, and railroad stations, must be equipped with assistive listening systems. These systems must include captioned announcements, signage, and microphone systems to aid those who are hard of hearing. Additionally, the bill requires these terminals to install visual emergency alarms designed to assist those who are deaf or hard of hearing during evacuations.
