Bill Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Transit Corporation (corporation) to continue to issue: (1) one-way tickets for rail passenger service, including light-rail service, and motorbus regular route service bearing no expiration date; and (2) 10-trip tickets for rail passenger service bearing no expiration date. The bill also requires the corporation to permit individuals who previously purchased a rail passenger service, including light-rail service, or motorbus regular route service ticket bearing no expiration date to utilize the unused ticket. Within 90 days of the bill's effective date, the corporation is required to reinstate any rail passenger service, including light-rail service, or motorbus regular route service ticket issued by the corporation that bears no expiration date and that expired as a result of a corporation policy implemented by the corporation prior to the bill's effective date.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT), the state's public transportation agency, must continue to issue and honor rail passenger service tickets (including light-rail) and motorbus regular route service tickets that do not have an expiration date. This applies to both one-way and 10-trip tickets for rail service. Furthermore, individuals who previously bought such non-expiring tickets, even if they have expired due to a past NJT policy, will have them reinstated and can use them. NJT is required to bring back the validity of any non-expiring tickets that were previously invalidated by a company policy within 90 days of this bill becoming law.
