Establishes NJT Office of Customer Advocate and Rider Advocacy Commission.

This bill establishes the New Jersey Transit Office of Customer Advocate and a Rider Advocacy Commission to directly represent transit riders' interests. The Rider Advocacy Commission (appointed by the Governor, Senate President, and Assembly Speaker) will appoint a Rider Advocate who reports independently to the commission, not to NJ Transit or the Transportation Department. Key provisions require NJ Transit to immediately share documents about proposed fare increases, service cuts, expansions, or major spending with the Office, which must analyze impacts and report to the Governor, Legislature, and NJ Transit's board. The Office will also gather customer feedback through public meetings and online channels to inform decision-makers. This directly affects NJ Transit riders by creating a formal, independent channel to influence service and fare decisions.
