Requires NJT to operate off-peak direct rail service to Manhattan on Raritan Valley Line.

This bill requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) to provide direct rail service from the Raritan Valley Line (RVL) to Manhattan during off-peak hours at a level equal to or greater than the service offered during fiscal year 2018. It directly affects RVL commuters traveling to Manhattan during non-peak times, ensuring reliable, transfer-free access without reduced service. The key provision establishes 2018 as a baseline standard for service frequency, mandating NJT maintain or improve upon that level. The bill is currently pending in the Assembly Transportation Committee and has not yet been enacted.
