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 bus, rail, and specialized transit services within one year to better accommodate the mobility needs of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. NJT must first consult directly with autistic individuals and their advocates before making any changes to routes or hours. The law also mandates annual consultations to assess whether current services meet mobility needs and whether further adjustments are necessary. This applies to all NJT services, including light rail and paratransit.
