Requires omnibus drivers to inspect bus at end of route for passengers with disabilities.
This bill requires bus drivers in New Jersey to visually inspect their vehicles at the end of each route to ensure no passenger with a disability was left behind. It directly affects commercial bus drivers who violate this rule, facing penalties including a one-month license suspension for a first offense, six months for a second, and permanent revocation for a third offense. If a passenger with a disability is harmed due to the driver’s gross negligence, the license is permanently revoked. The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission must record violations in drivers’ commercial license files and report them to the federal Commercial Driver License Information System.
