Requires NJT to offer discount fares to certain individuals.
This bill requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) to offer discounted fares to five specific groups: K-12 and college students commuting to school, full-time workforce training program participants, individuals receiving Work First New Jersey benefits, and newly employed NJ residents meeting strict criteria (e.g., minimum wage, 20+ hours/week, 30+ days unemployed prior to hire). Discounts apply to all NJT services, including bus, rail, and light rail, for commuting to and from school or work. Eligibility for the "newly employed" category requires residency, age 18+, and no current public assistance. The policy change takes immediate effect without additional legislative action.
