Requires NJT to establish contactless payment system to rail passenger service.

This bill requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) to establish a tap-to-pay system for rail and light-rail services within 18 months. It mandates that customers can pay by tapping credit/debit cards at entry/exit points, load digital transit cards onto mobile wallets, use digital tickets without physical tickets, or purchase reusable physical cards. NJT may charge a fee for physical cards (waived for seniors and people with disabilities) and must study other states' systems while trying to reassign employees displaced by the transition. The policy directly affects NJT passengers and employees, replacing physical ticket purchases with contactless options.
