The authority shall file copies of such plan with the commissioner of transportation, the Genesee-Finger Lakes Regional Planning Board, the city council of the city of Rochester, the legislature of the county of Monroe, and with the legislative body of any other county, within the district, affected by such plan, as hereinafter stated, except where applications for state or federal aid have been filed for any particular transportation undertaking prior to the enactment of this legislation.

Any part of said plan which is disapproved by a political subdivision because it alters existing services or the financing thereof within said political subdivision shall not become operative. This disapproval of part or parts of the plan shall not make the entire plan inoperative. Any part of said plan which is disapproved by the commissioner of transportation because it conflicts with a state-wide comprehensive master plan for transportation or the Rochester Metropolitan transportation plan or, in the absence of such plans, would have an adverse effect upon sound transportation development policy and planning, shall not become operative. If the said legislative bodies or said regional planning board fail to act within said sixty days or in the case of the commissioner of transportation within ninety days after approval is requested, said failure shall be deemed approval, and the authority may adopt the master plan by a majority vote of its membership and may include changes, if any,recommended by said commissioner of transportation, planning board or said legislative bodies.
