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 table of rates and route schedules at the ferry entrance and on their websites. 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 online.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that any changes to the route schedules must be updated on the respective websites and posted at transportation facilities within 30 days of the changes taking effect. The legislation also includes provisions for penalties for non-compliance, specifically a one-dollar penalty for each day a ferry operator fails to maintain the required postings. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency and accessibility of transportation services in New Jersey.
