AI Summary

This bill mandates that the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) and county transit agencies provide a special one-time transit pass to individuals who need to visit a One Stop Career Center, which are facilities offering job training and employment services. This pass will allow individuals to make up to three free round-trip journeys using NJT or county transit services to reach these career centers. The bill also requires NJT to establish an application process for this pass within six months of the law taking effect, in collaboration with the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, ensuring applicants can demonstrate their intent to use the pass for accessing a One Stop Career Center.
