Adopted rule summary:

This final rule, which is essentially identical to the proposed rule that was the subject of the public hearing:
(1) specifies that Access-A-Ride is a designated transit option under the Fair Fares program;
(2) replaces references to the “Fair Fares MetroCard” with a more generic reference to the “Fair Fares discount” in light of the facts that MetroCards are not used on Access-A- Ride trips and that the One Metro New York (OMNY) system will likely eventually replace the MetroCard altogether,
(3) changes an erroneous reference to “federal gross income” to “gross income,” and
(4) removes a definition of term that is not used in the rule.
