This bill mandates the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) to identify and commemorate a series of historic sites and memorials located within or around its rail stations and bus and rail terminals. The NJT is tasked with designing, purchasing, erecting, and maintaining historic markers that describe the significant persons, places, and events associated with these sites. The bill emphasizes that the historic sites and memorials should reflect the diverse cultural aspects and various eras of New Jersey's history, ensuring geographical representation across the state.

Additionally, the bill allows the NJT to collaborate with local government officials, owners or operators of historic sites, and organizations that compile historical data to enhance the identification and presentation of these sites. This initiative aims to promote awareness and appreciation of New Jersey's rich cultural heritage among transit users and the general public. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
