ASSEMBLY, No. 5612

with Assembly Floor Amendments

(Proposed by Assemblyman CALABRESE)

ADOPTED: DECEMBER 8, 2025

      These floor amendments clarify that for a period of 180 days beginning on the date of implementation of the bus obstruction monitoring system program, the New Jersey Transit Corporation (corporation) is required to conduct a public education and awareness campaign, rather than issue a public announcement, regarding the corporation’s implementation of the bus obstruction monitoring system program.  The amendments further provide that the campaign is to include, but not be limited to, bus exterior advertising, web-based and social media outreach, and press events.  Finally, the amendments clarify that the corporation is also to provide the public with information about the bus obstruction monitoring system program on the corporation’s Internet website commencing at the start of the implementation of the program.
