Prohibits NJT from implementing automatic fare increases.
This bill (S 1471) prohibits the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) from implementing automatic fare increases for bus and rail services. It bans scheduled fare hikes that would occur after a set time period without new approval, as defined in the bill. The law takes immediate effect, directly affecting NJT passengers by preventing unannounced fare increases tied to pre-set timelines. The bill focuses solely on stopping this specific mechanism, with no other policy changes described.
