Requires NJT to remove certain remote access features from buses and trains.
This bill requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) to review all buses and trains it owns or operates - including those run by contracted service providers - to identify "kill switches" or other remote access features that could allow unauthorized remote disabling, control, or degradation of vehicles. If such features pose cybersecurity or operational risks and aren’t essential for safety or compliance, NJT must remove, permanently disable, or otherwise mitigate them. The review must include consultation with the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness. This directly affects NJT and its contracted transit operators by mandating the removal of non-essential remote access capabilities.
