Requires entities to submit environmental impact statements for new building developments within one mile of transit facilities.

The bill amends the transportation law to mandate the commissioner to create rules and regulations requiring entities proposing construction of a new building development within one mile of a transit facility to submit environmental impact statements. These statements must comply with the environmental conservation law and include a thorough investigation of underground environmental impacts, such as soil toxicity and the effects of geo-energy exploitation. The term "transit facility" is defined to include airports, bus terminals, ferry terminals, and other mass transportation structures.
