New York S00669 mandates a traffic study for charter school applications to assess impact on local traffic, safety, and congestion.

New York S00669 amends the education law to require applicants for charter schools to include a traffic study in their application. This study must evaluate how the proposed school might affect traffic patterns, safety, and congestion in the surrounding area. If the school's facilities are not yet known at the time of application, the applicant must inform the charter entity and, if applicable, the board of regents within ten business days of acquiring the facilities. The charter school must also obtain a certificate of occupancy before starting instruction.
