This bill establishes requirements for on-demand micro transit programs operating in New Jersey, defining "on-demand micro transit" as publicly available, technology-enabled, shared transportation that allows individuals to select pick-up and drop-off locations via phone or mobile application. The Commissioner of Transportation is tasked with issuing operational requirements, which include stipulations that all drivers must be employees of the New Jersey Transit Corporation or other public entities, hold valid commercial driver licenses, and be compensated comparably to other public transit drivers. Additionally, the bill mandates that these services must be accessible to individuals without smartphone or internet access and must include features for persons with disabilities.

Furthermore, the bill creates a Micro Transit Oversight Committee responsible for reviewing and certifying on-demand micro transit plans to ensure compliance with the established requirements. The committee will consist of three members appointed by various state officials, and no entity may provide on-demand micro transit services without receiving the necessary certification. The bill also includes provisions for data reporting on service performance and penalties for non-compliance with wage and operational standards, ensuring that existing employees are not adversely affected by the new programs.
