Requires NJT and county transit agencies to offer transit pass for individuals seeking access to One Stop Career Centers.
This bill requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) and county transit agencies to provide free one-time transit passes to individuals seeking to access One Stop Career Centers. The pass covers up to three round-trips and must be offered upon application, with applicants needing to demonstrate their intent to use the career center. It applies to all NJT services and county transit services (including those for seniors/disabled residents), though counties are encouraged to align their application process with NJT's. The policy aims to remove transportation barriers for job seekers accessing workforce services. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
