This bill mandates that private bus operators providing motorbus regular route service must adhere to specific notification and public meeting requirements before making substantial service changes. Operators are required to give at least four months' written notice to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission and the New Jersey Transit Corporation, as well as three months' notice to their customers. Additionally, they must hold at least one public meeting in the affected area within 15 days of notifying customers, ensuring that relevant stakeholders, including state legislators and local governing bodies, are informed about the meeting.

Violations of these requirements can result in civil penalties of up to $10,000 for each infraction, alongside any other applicable legal penalties. The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission is tasked with adopting rules and regulations to enforce compliance with these provisions. The bill aims to enhance transparency and community engagement regarding changes in bus services that may impact local residents.
