ALBANY, N.Y. — The New York State Senate passed legislation that if made into law will require the appointment of a transit dependent and paratransit dependent representative on the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority’s (NFTA) Board of Commissioners, WKBW Buffalo reported.

The new appointments could play a major role in shaping NFTA’s future, which includes a possible $1.6 billion light rail expansion, as well as a proposed $100 million five-year capital spending plan for light rail.

According to the report, Sen. Tim Kennedy believes the legislation passed this week will bolster momentum to keep focus on the much-needed transit upgrades in Western New York. For the full story, click here.
