A 5763 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns training curriculum for certain NJT motorbus operators.

This bill (A5763) requires the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) to create and implement a mandatory training curriculum for all operators of NJT motorbus regular route service (including contracted operators). The training must cover four key areas: basic disability types (physical, sensory, intellectual, developmental), safe passenger assistance techniques, emergency procedures for disability-related incidents, and resources from disability organizations. NJT must also seek input from recognized disability groups before updating the curriculum and post the full training content on its website for public access. The policy directly affects NJT bus operators and passengers with disabilities, aiming to improve service accessibility and safety.
