Requires certain providers of transportation services to develop and publish route schedules.
This bill requires certain transportation providers, including ferry operators, private autobuses carrying up to 40 passengers for hire, and major transit agencies like NJ Transit, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and the Delaware River Port Authority, to develop and publish route schedules. Providers must post these schedules visibly at transportation facilities and on their websites, and update them within 30 days of any changes. The bill specifically targets fixed route services while excluding certain exempt services like school buses, charter buses, and some paratransit services. It defines "autobus" to clarify which private transportation services are covered by the requirement. The law aims to improve transparency and accessibility of public transportation information for riders.
