Requires paratransit vehicle operators to announce stops for passengers.*

The stop-announcement requirement was expanded from applying only to Access Link (NJ Transit's ADA paratransit service) to all paratransit vehicle operators in the state.

The specific reference to 'Access Link' as the only covered service was removed from the main operative requirement (section 1(b)).

A new definition of 'paratransit service' was added, covering NJ Transit Access Link, Department of Labor and Workforce Development services, and county programs under the Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Transportation Assistance Act. It explicitly excludes private or charter services by taxicabs, limousines, and transportation network companies (e.g., Uber, Lyft).

The definition of 'operator' was changed from someone operating 'an Access Link vehicle' to someone operating 'a vehicle for the provision of paratransit services,' aligning with the broader scope.

Co-sponsor list was expanded to include additional Assembly members and Senators Tiver and Amato. The explanatory statement at the end of the bill was removed.
