Establishes requirements for on-demand micro transit programs operating in NJ.*

S 3450 establishes requirements for on-demand micro transit programs in New Jersey, which are app- or phone-based shared rides using motor vehicles to transport riders between custom pick-up and drop-off points. The bill mandates that these programs must expand service in transit deserts (areas with limited public transportation) without replacing existing routes, require drivers to hold commercial licenses and be paid at least as well as other transit drivers, and protect existing employees from adverse impacts. A new Micro Transit Oversight Committee must review and certify each program before it begins operations, ensuring compliance with these rules.
