Requires NJT to install certain safety features at certain bus stops.
This bill requires New Jersey Transit to install safety features like barriers and lighting at bus stops located in high-traffic areas to protect passengers from traffic-related injuries. The law applies to both new shelters being built and existing shelters, with the latter requiring safety upgrades only if a local municipality or entity requests them. NJT will determine which locations qualify as high-traffic areas based on factors such as traffic volume, collision history, and proximity to schools and senior housing. The implementation of these safety measures is subject to the availability of appropriated funds, and the bill takes effect seven months after enactment.
