S 355 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "NJpass Program" to provide discounted fares to eligible organizations; establishes "GO NJ Transit Card Program" to develop transit cards that can be used to purchase any NJT service.

This bill creates two new NJ Transit programs. The "NJpass Program" provides discounted group transit fares for eligible organizations like training providers, schools, government agencies, and nonprofits when purchasing tickets for their employees or clients. The "GO NJ Transit Card Program" establishes a reloadable card system that can be used for any NJ Transit service, requires a $10 minimum balance, and has no expiration date. Both programs require NJ Transit to develop application processes, publish eligibility details online, and report annually on their effectiveness. The bill is pending in the Senate Transportation Committee and has not yet been enacted.
