Requires NJT to establish guidelines for on-demand micro transit pilot programs operating within State.

This bill (A1427) requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) to create guidelines for on-demand micro transit pilot programs operating across the state. The guidelines must ensure affordability for residents in "transit deserts" (areas with limited public transportation access), encourage union hiring for drivers, and specify vehicle requirements (including commercial driver license rules). NJT must prioritize expanding these services to Bergen, Mercer, and Middlesex counties, focusing on connecting transit-dependent communities to regional rail networks. The programs would provide app-based shared rides where users select pickup/drop-off locations in real time.
