Requires NJT to expand or modify routes and hours of certain transportation services and to solicit input from individuals diagnosed with autism.
This bill requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) to expand or modify routes and hours for its motorbus, paratransit, and rail services - including light rail - within one year of the bill's effective date to better serve people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. NJT must first seek input from autistic individuals and their advocates before making any changes. The bill also mandates annual consultations with these stakeholders to assess whether current service hours and routes adequately meet mobility needs and whether further adjustments are needed. It directly affects NJT’s service planning and autistic riders in New Jersey. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
