This bill mandates that owners or operators of certain transportation services, including ferries and autobuses, develop and publish route schedules. Specifically, it amends R.S.48:8-2 to require ferry operators to post a visible route schedule and table of rates at the ferry entrance and on their website. Additionally, it introduces new sections that obligate the New Jersey Transit Corporation, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and the Delaware River Port Authority to create and publish route schedules for their respective services, ensuring these schedules are accessible at transportation facilities and on their websites.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that any changes to these route schedules must be updated on the respective websites and posted at transportation facilities within 30 days of the changes taking effect. The term "autobus" is defined to include privately-owned vehicles for hire, with certain exceptions, and the bill emphasizes the importance of transparency and accessibility in public transportation services. The provisions of the bill will take effect at different times, depending on the enactment of corresponding legislation in New York and Pennsylvania.
