S 4405 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns parking violations that obstruct NJT bus operations and bicycle lanes in certain circumstances.

This bill authorizes New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) to use camera systems on buses to capture images of vehicles illegally parked in bus lanes, bus stop zones, or bicycle lanes. NJT can issue citations with fines starting at $45 for the first offense, increasing to a maximum of $135 for subsequent violations within a 12-month period. The bill requires a 60-day warning period before enforcement begins, specifies strict protocols for handling recorded images (including secure storage and destruction of non-evidence images), and mandates that fine revenue cover administrative costs and fund Access Link services. It directly affects drivers who park in restricted areas near bus stops and bike lanes, aiming to improve transit reliability and safety for bus passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
