Bill > S1768

This bill requires certain transportation providers to create and make public their route schedules, with specific provisions for ferry operators, the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ Transit), and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (which operates commuter rail and PATCO lines). Ferry operators must post their rates and route schedules at ferry locations and on their websites, and update them within 30 days of any changes, facing a penalty for non-compliance. NJ Transit is mandated to develop and publish route schedules for its bus, rail, and ferry services on its website and at transportation facilities and stations, also requiring updates within 30 days of changes. Similarly, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey must develop and publish route schedules for its commuter railroad routes and PATCO services on its website and at relevant locations, with the same 30-day update requirement. The bill also includes provisions for amending compacts between New Jersey and New York, and New Jersey and Pennsylvania, to facilitate these requirements for the Port Authority and the Delaware River Port Authority, respectively. Finally, it clarifies definitions related to "autobus" and "for hire" transportation services to ensure these new requirements apply appropriately.
