An Act concerning paratransit services.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes taxicabs, limousines, and transportation network companies (TNCs) to provide paratransit services for a two-year period in New Jersey. Paratransit services are specialized transportation services for individuals with disabilities, typically provided by public transit agencies. The bill requires paratransit providers using taxicabs, limousines, or TNCs to report information on the number of rides, any violations, and any accidents that occurred during the two-year period. After the two-year period, the Department of Transportation, in consultation with other state agencies, must submit a report to the Governor and Legislature evaluating the efficacy of allowing these providers to offer paratransit services and providing a recommendation on whether to make the temporary provision permanent.
