Bill > A5134

This bill requires various transportation service providers in New Jersey to develop and publish detailed route schedules, creating consistent transparency and information access for passengers. Specifically, the bill mandates that ferry owners, New Jersey Transit Corporation, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Delaware River Port Authority, and private autobus operators must create route schedules for their transportation services and publish these schedules both on their websites and at each relevant transportation facility, station, stop, or stand. The bill further stipulates that if route schedules change, these providers must update their websites and physical postings within 30 days of the changes taking effect. For ferry services, the existing law is amended to require not just rate tables but also route schedules to be posted visibly at passenger entrances, with a penalty of one dollar per day for non-compliance. The bill also includes provisions authorizing the Governor to enter into compacts with New York and Pennsylvania regarding these transportation service requirements. The new requirements will take effect six months after the bill's enactment, with some sections contingent on similar legislation being passed in New York and Pennsylvania.
