Establishes "NJpass Program" to provide discounted fares to eligible organizations; establishes "GO NJ Transit Card Program" to develop transit cards that can be used to purchase any NJT service.
This bill (A1690) creates two new NJ Transit programs. The "NJpass Program" provides discounted transit fares to eligible organizations like workforce training providers, schools, and government agencies when they purchase passes for their approved groups. The "GO NJ Transit Card Program" establishes a reloadable card for general use, allowing riders to pay for any NJ Transit service with non-expiring funds and featuring a fare-capping system to ensure the lowest possible cost. Both programs require NJ Transit to publish details online, report annually on effectiveness to the Governor and Legislature, and consider similar programs used by other states.
