A 2131 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns training curriculum for certain NJT motorbus operators.

This bill requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) to create and implement a mandatory training program for all motorbus regular route service operators (including contracted drivers). The training must cover four key areas: basic disability types (physical, sensory, intellectual, developmental), safe passenger assistance techniques, emergency procedures for passengers with disabilities, and resources from disability organizations. NJT must seek input from disability organizations before adopting or updating the curriculum and post the full curriculum online for public access. The policy directly affects NJT bus operators and aims to improve service for passengers with disabilities.
