The proposed bill, General Assembly Committee Bill No. 714, mandates the Department of Transportation to restore service on the Shore Line East rail line to its pre-COVID-19 levels by July 1, 2025. This restoration is aimed at reinstating the service that was reduced due to the COVID-19 public health emergency and the civil preparedness emergency declared by the Governor on March 10, 2020. The bill introduces new legal language that establishes a requirement for the restoration of rail service, specifically noted as Section 1 from passage New section. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text of the bill. The intent of this legislation is to ensure that public transportation services are fully restored to support the community's needs following the disruptions caused by the pandemic.
