A 5064 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires NJT to publish certain performance-related information.

This bill requires New Jersey Transit to publish monthly performance data on its website for rail, light rail, and bus services. The new reporting mandates include details on service cancellations and their specific causes, such as staffing shortages or equipment failures, alongside metrics for on-time performance and vehicle reliability. By making this information publicly available, the legislation aims to provide commuters with clearer insights into how the transit system is operating. The act does not alter existing annual reporting requirements but adds a more frequent, detailed layer of transparency to the agency's operational updates.

MODERATE

The bill moved from its introduced version to a first reprint after committee action on June 1, 2026. The most substantive change replaces 'staffing shortages' with 'crew and engineer availability' as a category of rail cancellation causes, and removes the separate requirement to report mean distance between failure for each passenger car. A co-sponsor was added and minor citation and naming corrections were made.

REQUIREMENT

The category of rail cancellations attributed to staffing issues was narrowed from the broad term 'staffing shortages' to the more specific 'crew and engineer availability,' which likely reduces the number of cancellations that fall under this reporting category.

The separate requirement to report 'mean distance between failure for each passenger car' as its own numbered item was eliminated. The remaining items were renumbered so that 'any other information the commissioner deems appropriate' is now item (5) instead of item (6).

TECHNICAL

The statutory citation for the 'Access Link' definition was corrected from C.27:25-5c to C.27:25-5c[.]1, fixing a reference to the specific subsection.

'Hoboken Terminal' was renamed to 'Hoboken Bus Terminal' in the list of bus terminals whose on-time performance must be reported.

SCOPE

Assemblyman William F. Moen, Jr. (District 5, Camden and Gloucester) was added as a co-sponsor of the bill.
