Relates to the creation of a toll-free hotline and a website where motorists can report potholes

This bill requires the state Department of Transportation to establish a toll-free hotline and a website where drivers can report potholes and other defects on state highways and bridges. The online system will allow users to submit reports with specific location details, optionally include their contact information for updates, and view a map showing reported issues and repair progress. The department must update this map at least once every five days and keep records of reports and repairs for a minimum of 365 days. Additionally, the law mandates that the department share defect reports with local officials for county and town roads and coordinate with the Thruway Authority to include those routes in the reporting system.
