Expands NJT Access Link paratransit service area to include certain veterans health care facilities; appropriates $1 million.
This bill expands New Jersey Transit's Access Link paratransit service to include all U.S. Veterans Health Administration facilities in the state. It requires NJ Transit to provide origin-to-destination service to these facilities regardless of location, creating a 1.5-mile service radius around each facility and a 1.5-mile-wide corridor along the most direct route connecting each facility to the nearest NJ Transit bus or rail stop. The bill appropriates $1 million from the state General Fund to cover implementation costs for NJ Transit. This change directly affects veterans using VA healthcare facilities by improving their access to paratransit service.
