Bill > S4080

This bill mandates that the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) install safety features, such as barriers and lighting, at bus stops located in "high-traffic areas," which are defined as locations with increased danger to passengers due to factors like average traffic, collision frequency, and proximity to pedestrian-heavy areas like schools or hospitals. This requirement applies when NJT installs new shelters at these bus stops, and also to pre-existing shelters upon request from the municipality or entity responsible for their maintenance, with potential cost-sharing arrangements. The bill aims to enhance the safety of riders waiting for bus service, particularly in areas where they are more vulnerable to traffic-related incidents.
