Requires NJT to publish certain safety violations and establish mechanism to report unsafe conduct.
This bill requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) to publicly post on its website details of federal safety violations it receives and associated fines. Specifically, NJT must publish quarterly information about violations from the previous quarter (with data remaining online for five years) and also post all violations from the five years prior to the bill's effective date (with the same five-year retention). Additionally, NJT must establish a confidential toll-free hotline and email system for the public to report safety concerns that could endanger public health or safety. These provisions aim to increase transparency about NJT's safety record and provide accessible channels for public safety reporting.
