Language accessibility at ferry terminals.

Summary

This bill would require the Department of Transportation (DOT), the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and third-party operators of contracted ferry terminals to ensure that information regarding ferry schedules, fares, and tickets at each ferry terminal is written in English, Spanish, and other locally relevant languages as determined by DOT, EDC or the third-party operator pursuant to guidance from the Federal Transit Administration, as well as reminders in multiple languages at both the St. George and Whitehall Street Terminals that the Staten Island Ferry is free for all.
