✦ Plain-Language Summary

This bill sets rules for how the MTA must operate time-delay exit mechanisms on subway and transit doors, which are devices that create a brief pause before emergency exits can be opened. The rules are designed to balance public safety by deterring fare evasion while ensuring passengers can still exit quickly in an emergency. This affects millions of New Yorkers who ride MTA transit systems daily.
