S 963 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires NJT to provide Wi-Fi service on passenger trains.

This bill (S 963) requires the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) to provide onboard Wi-Fi service on all passenger trains it owns or operates within six months of the law's effective date. It directly affects NJT passengers traveling on rail services, who currently lack consistent Wi-Fi access during commutes. The key provision mandates that NJT implement this service on every rail passenger vehicle, building on existing station Wi-Fi hotspots and planned bus service expansion. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment, with no specified funding mechanism or exemptions.
