S 4500 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires NJTA, NJT, and SJTA to provide notice of proposed fare, charge, and toll increases; requires BPU to provide notice of certain filings and decisions.

Senate Bill S 4500 requires New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA), New Jersey Transit (NJT), and South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) to provide 15 days' notice to the Governor and Legislature before holding public hearings on proposed fare, toll, or charge increases. It also mandates 70 days' notice before NJTA implements any toll, fare, or charge increase. The bill similarly requires the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to provide 15 days' notice to the Governor and Legislature before considering or making final decisions on public utility rate increase filings. These provisions aim to increase transparency in transportation pricing decisions by giving state officials more time to review proposed changes.
