S 1355 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires NJT to establish a transportation network company pilot program in certain counties.

This bill requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) to create a three-year pilot program in Morris and Middlesex counties, partnering with ride-hailing companies (like Uber or Lyft) to provide prearranged rides for eligible residents. Eligible riders - Morris or Middlesex County residents - can access flat-rate rides through the program to reach NJT bus, rail, or light-rail stations on workdays. The program includes reduced transit fares for riders who use the pilot service to connect to NJT, with proof of participation required. The goal is to improve access to transit in areas where regular service is unavailable, using ride-hailing as a supplemental transportation tool.
