Requires NJT to establish contactless payment system to rail passenger service.
Introduced First Reading Senate Referred to STR
Summary
The bill orders New Jersey Transit to create a system that lets riders buy one‑way tickets by tapping a credit or debit card, a digital NJ Transit card, or a physical tap card at station entrances and exits. It permits a fee for reusable or single‑use physical cards, but waives that fee for seniors and people with disabilities, and it directs NJ Transit to consider employee impacts and study other states’ systems. The goal is to modernize fare collection and improve rider convenience.
