Requires the Governor of New York to report to Congress, including a regional emissions analysis, on the status of the State's progress toward achieving compliance with such CAA provisions and regulations.
Prohibits during the waiver allowed under this Act: (1) addition of any regionally significant capacity expanding highway project to the Regional Transportation Plan for the counties referred to above; or (2) advancement of such a project from the out years of the Plan into the transportation improvement program for the area. Excepts from this prohibition a capacity expanding project south of Canal Street and West of Broadway in Manhattan if the project is part of a lower Manhattan redevelopment plan subject to Federal and State environmental assessment requirements and any projected increases in transportation-related emissions are offset by corresponding reductions within the affected county, with best efforts made to achieve reductions from within the immediate area affected by the project's emissions.
