A 3900 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Rail Passenger Bill of Rights with certain protections and authorizes Division of Consumer Affairs to enforce provisions.

This bill establishes a Rail Passenger Bill of Rights for people traveling on passenger trains operating on regularly scheduled routes within New Jersey or between New Jersey and other states. It requires train operators to provide reliable on-time service, clear delay notifications via multiple channels, clean and safe trains/stations, courteous staff, and alternate transportation during major disruptions - while mandating advance notice for fare hikes or service changes. The Division of Consumer Affairs’ Office of Consumer Protection will enforce these rules by investigating complaints, seeking settlements, and referring unresolved cases to the Attorney General for civil penalties up to $1,000 per violation.
