N.J. Admin. Code § 16:87-1.1
The New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ TRANSIT) and its subsidiaries are responsible for the provision of rail and bus services in the State of New Jersey. NJ TRANSIT, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 27:25-5(n), is authorized to set and collect fares for the services it or its contractors provide to the riding public. Prior to the enactment of N.J.S.A. 27:25-5.6 et seq., and promulgation of this chapter, if a rider refused to pay the proper fare, NJ TRANSIT's only recourse was to eject the person from the rail car and/or file a municipal court complaint alleging theft of services in violation of Title 2C of the New Jersey Criminal Code. That process was expensive and time consuming; it required the arresting officer and/or the conductor to appear in court over a dispute involving a small amount of money. In order to provide NJ TRANSIT with a more effective and efficient way of ensuring that NJ TRANSIT fares are paid by its rail service riders, P.L. 1997, c. 357 (N.J.S.A. 27:25-5.6 et seq.) was signed into law on January 15, 1998 by Governor Whitman. That statute establishes a specific legal framework for dealing with fare evasion on rail passenger services operated by or under contract with NJ TRANSIT. The purpose of this chapter is to effectuate the purposes of said statute.
