This bill mandates that the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) develop and provide a comprehensive training curriculum for all operators of motorbus regular route service. The curriculum must cover essential topics related to assisting persons with disabilities, including basic information about various types of disabilities, practical guidance for ensuring safety and comfort, emergency procedures in case of accidents or service interruptions, and resources from disability organizations.
Additionally, the NJT is required to solicit feedback from recognized disability organizations before implementing or updating the training curriculum. The elements of the training curriculum must be made accessible on the NJT's website, with updates provided whenever changes are made. This initiative aims to enhance the quality of service provided to individuals with disabilities using NJT motorbus services.
