A 5334 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes requirements for on-demand micro transit programs operating within State.

This bill establishes rules for on-demand micro transit programs in New Jersey, which are technology-enabled shared rides requested via app or phone (like ride-sharing but public). It directly affects transit agencies, drivers, and riders in areas without existing public transit ("transit deserts"). Key requirements include: monthly data reporting on cost, ridership, and wait times; drivers needing commercial licenses and equal pay to regular transit workers; services must be accessible to people without smartphones/internet or disabilities; and new programs must expand service to transit deserts instead of replacing existing routes. A new Oversight Committee must certify all plans before service begins, ensuring compliance with these standards.
