A 2461 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DOT to establish paratransit brokerage program to consolidate provision of paratransit services under State Medicaid program and NJT Access Link.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT) to create a paratransit brokerage program that consolidates Medicaid medical transportation and ADA paratransit services under a single management system. The program would use an online platform to let riders schedule trips, allow competing transportation providers (like NJ Transit and county agencies) to bid for service requests, and monitor service quality. It directly affects Medicaid beneficiaries needing non-emergency medical transport and people with disabilities relying on ADA paratransit services. The goal is to reduce costs and improve efficiency by streamlining how these essential transportation services are delivered across the state.
