A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to electronic equipment collection standards.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The purpose of this chapter is to require that manufacturers of covered electronic waste comply with specific electronic waste collection standards. The Council finds that the setting of performance standards is necessary to insure that electronic equipment is collected in appropriate amounts. The three-year period before penalties are imposed for failure to meet the prescribed performance standards gives the industry and the city ample time and data to evaluate, and if necessary, adjust the prescribed performance standards.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to modifying department of transportation performance measures in an effort to help reduce traffic congestion and promote high performance modes citywide.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The New York City Department of Transportation ("DOT") currently measures surface transportation performance through an array of output measures such as the number of traffic lights repaired and the number of potholes filled. While such indicators provide valuable information about the state of New York City's roads and other infrastructure, such indicators do not help to monitor and evaluate many of the broader transportation issues facing New York City. These issues include reducing congestion and promoting modes of surface transportation that generate less pollution and consume less street space per traveler than private automobiles. These "high performance" modes include buses, ferries, bicycling and walking.
The Council finds that requiring DOT to monitor performance indicators will help DOT to reduce automobile traffic and encourage more sustainable means of transportation vital to combating congestion, pollution and improving the City's long term economic health. Requiring DOT to report on these indicators for a major arterial roadway before and after traffic engineering initiatives have been completed will allow DOT and the public to assess the effectiveness of DOT's work.
