Bill Summary
This bill prohibits the New Jersey Transit Corporation from implementing automatic fare increases for any motorbus regular route or rail passenger services. As defined in the bill, "automatic fare increase" means an increase in fares that occurs after a period of time has elapsed, provided that such fare increase was adopted by the corporation as part of a plan to increase fares periodically after certain periods of time have elapsed.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the New Jersey Transit Corporation, often referred to as NJT, from implementing "automatic fare increases," which are defined as fare hikes that automatically happen after a set amount of time has passed, as part of a pre-approved plan by NJT to raise fares periodically. This means NJT can no longer automatically increase bus and train fares based solely on the passage of time; any fare adjustments would likely require a different, non-automatic process.
