A 2485 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes requirements for on-demand micro transit programs operating within State.

This bill establishes rules for on-demand micro transit services (like app-based shared rides) operating in New Jersey. It requires providers - such as the New Jersey Transit Corporation, county agencies, or other entities - to report monthly data on costs, ridership, and wait times, and to publish quarterly summaries online. Key requirements include ensuring drivers have commercial licenses, receive fair pay comparable to other transit workers, provide accessible services for people with disabilities (including wheelchair vehicles and non-smartphone options), and create new service in areas without existing transit ("transit deserts") rather than replacing it. A new Micro Transit Oversight Committee must certify all plans meet these standards before services begin.
