A 2339 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides for establishment of three-year pilot program to expand provision of paratransit services in New Jersey.

This bill establishes a three-year pilot program to expand paratransit services for seniors and people with disabilities in New Jersey, focusing on areas not well-served by the existing Access Link program. It requires the Transportation Commissioner to designate three regions (north, central, and south), prioritize community-based organizations serving seniors/disabled individuals, and set strict standards for providers (including insurance, vehicle safety, staff training, and 15-minute pickup guarantees). Approved providers must maintain detailed service logs and report on wait times and complaints. After the pilot, the Transportation and Human Services Commissioners must submit a report evaluating the program’s success and recommending whether to make it permanent statewide. The bill directly affects seniors, people with disabilities, and community-based transportation providers seeking to participate.
