NEW JERSEY TRANSIT CORPORATION
New Jersey Administrative Code (NJAC) Section 16:75 "New Jersey Transit Bus Allocation Program Guidelines and Procedures"
Notice is given that New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ TRANSIT) is proposing to adopt NJAC 16:75, "Bus Share Program Guidelines and Procedures." The proposed regulations govern the leasing of buses to private carriers for scheduled bus service. Pursuant to the sunset provisions of Executive Order 66 (1978), NJAC 16:75 expired on February 4, 2007, and therefore NJ TRANSIT is proposing to adopt this section as new regulations.
NJAC 16:75 provides guidelines and procedures governing the distribution and leasing of buses to carriers pursuant to NJSA 27:25-5, n. (h) and (k).
Subsection 1 describes the purpose of these rules and the applicable definitions.
Subsection 2 sets out guidelines and criteria for determining the eligibility of private bus operators, including those operating scheduled services, to obtain buses; the procedure to be used to process a request by a carrier to determine such eligibility; and guidelines regarding the decommissioning of buses and disposal procedures.
Subsection 3 sets out the procedures to be used when allocating buses to carriers.
Subsection 4 describes the requirements for entering into a bus lease agreement between NJ TRANSIT and a carrier; regulatory compliance requirements; and the terms and conditions of use of equipment leased to a carrier.
Copies of the proposed new rules may be obtained by writing to the following address:
