(6) one council shall cover the counties of Bergen, Hudson, and Passaic. b. Each regional paratransit coordinating council shall have the following members: (1) one designee of the Director of the Division of Developmental Disabilities in the Department of Human Services; (2) one designee of the New Jersey Transit Corporation who works on the Access Link program or the Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Transportation Assistance Program; (3) one representative of any company or entity that has contracted with the New Jersey Transit Corporation to provide Access Link paratransit service within the region; (4) one representative of each county office of aging within the respective region to be chosen by the county executive director or by the board of freeholders, as applicable;
(5) one representative of each county transportation agency or other comparable entity within the respective region that provides paratransit service for a county under the Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Transportation Assistance Program; (6) one representative from each county chapter of the Arc of New Jersey, or a successor organization, within the respective region; (7) one individual that represents one or more members of the Alliance for the Betterment of Citizens with Disabilities, or a successor organization, within the respective region; (8) one representative of Community Access Unlimited, or a successor organization, within the respective region; (9) one representative of the New Jersey Association of Community Providers, or a successor organization, within the respective region; (10) one representative of the New Jersey Council on Special Transportation, or a successor organization, within the respective region; (11) one representative of Easterseals New Jersey, or a successor organization, within the respective region; and (12) one representative within the respective region, to be selected by the corporation in consultation with the department, of providers of transportation services to senior citizens or to individuals requiring transportation for health care services. c.

The term for each member on the regional paratransit coordinating council shall be one year provided, however, that any member may be selected to serve on the council for subsequent terms at the discretion of the respective agency. The executive director may appoint one member of each regional paratransit coordinating council to serve as the chair of that council. d. Each regional paratransit coordinating council shall meet not less than quarterly, with the first meeting happening not less than 60 days following the enactment of P.L.2020, c.114 (C.27:25-35 et seq.).

The members shall serve without compensation but may be reimbursed by the corporation, for reasonable expenses incurred in the execution of their duties. e. The purpose of the regional paratransit coordinating councils is to exchange best practices among paratransit providers within the State. Those best practices shall include but are not limited to scheduling and routing, fleet maintenance, driver training, customer communications, safety practices, and improving the customer usability experience. The councils are also to establish a system to exchange information among and between paratransit providers so that: (1) each paratransit provider may provide basic information to its customers about other paratransit service options within each respective region; (2) paratransit providers may eventually share customer trip requests amongst each other; and (3) a single platform may eventually be developed that enables a paratransit user to visit a single platform or place to request a trip, and that trip may be distributed amongst the paratransit providers in a manner that optimizes State cost and customer experience. The councils shall also exchange budget information and investigate more efficient means of organizing the New Jersey Transit Corporation's expenditures for paratransit services, use of State casino revenue funds, and appropriations for the division and department related to paratransit services, for the purpose of coordinating these three respective funding pools to eliminate any duplicative funding, and to direct trips and funding to service providers that offer the highest quality service and overall best value. f.

If necessary, county level subcommittees of the regional paratransit coordinating councils may be established to more effectively develop county plans; however, following the effective date of P.L.2020, c.114 (C.27:25-35 et seq.) county plans shall also take into account the larger regional and Statewide goals of integrating paratransit service and creating a more cohesive user experience under the pilot program established in P.L.2020, c.114 (C.27:25-35 et seq.). g. The New Jersey Transit Corporation shall utilize each regional paratransit coordinating council to disseminate information about the new Access Link program structure developed pursuant to section 4 of P.L.2020, c.114 (C.27:25-38) and coordinate with the council in determining the operating standards required for paratransit providers to compete to provide Access Link trips and when developing the system for paying paratransit providers to provide regular and routine trips requested through the Access Link program. h. The regional paratransit coordinating councils shall also advise other paratransit providers in each region and develop support materials to assist other paratransit providers in adopting and implementing the best practices training package developed under phase three of the pilot program established pursuant to paragraph (1) of subsection d. of section 5 of P.L.2020, c.114 (C.27:25-39).

The State should, as funds become available, continue to devote resources to the rehabilitation and replacement of these bridges, including bridges carrying local roads. e. The State should establish a mechanism by which each bridge which is to be rehabilitated or replaced or which is determined to be in a state of good repair can be assigned to the jurisdiction of a public entity.

For the purposes of this section, a temporary change in service lasting two weeks or less, and where service returns to the regularly scheduled service within two weeks of the start of the change, shall not constitute "substantial curtailment," but shall require public notice for all temporary changes and, for temporary changes where the impact to riders is significant, alternate provision of service. g. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the corporation from taking any action necessary to address emergency or exigent circumstances, provided that if such action constitutes a substantial curtailment under this section, the corporation shall hold public hearings as soon as practicable. The corporation shall explain to the public the reasons for the emergency at the hearing, and shall take public input concerning the impacts of the emergency on riders. The corporation shall take the public testimony into account when determining alternate service measures to mitigate the impact of the substantial curtailment.

N.J. Stat. § 27:1C-7 — NJ Code / Title 27 / Chapter 1C / Section 1C-7
Assessment, collection of development fees
Status: in_force

a. After the effective date of an ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, adopted under section 6 of this act, the governing body of the county may provide, by ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, for the assessment and collection of development fees on developments within the district. b. The ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, shall specify that the fee shall be assessed on a development at the time that the development receives preliminary approval from the municipal approval authority or, where the municipality has not enacted an ordinance requiring approval of the development, at the time that a construction permit is issued. If the development is to be constructed in phases or there is a substantial modification of preliminary approval as defined in the "Municipal Land Use Law," P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-1 et seq.), the fee shall be assessed at the time of the preliminary approval of the respective phase or at the time of modification, as the case may be. For a development which has received preliminary plan approval prior to the adoption of the ordinance and where final approval is not obtained for that phase of development within three years of preliminary approval, the fee shall be assessed at the time of final approval. c. The ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, shall specify whether the fee is to be paid at the time a construction permit is issued or in a series of payments, as set forth in a schedule of payments contained in the ordinance or resolution, as appropriate. The ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, may provide for payment of the fee in a series of periodic payments over a period of no longer than 20 years. The payments due to the county, whether as a lump sum or as balances due, where a series of payments is to be made, shall be enforceable by the county as a lien on the land and any improvements thereon which lien shall be recorded by the appropriate county officer in the record book of the appropriate county office. Any ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, shall set forth the procedures for enforcement of the lien in the event of delinquencies. When the fee is paid in full on the development or portion thereof, the lien on the development or portion thereof, as appropriate, shall be removed. Any ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, shall provide for the procedure by which any portion of the land and any improvements thereon shall be released from the lien required by this section and, shall require that any lien filed in accordance with this section shall contain a provision citing the release procedures. Where a series of payments is to be made, failure to make any one payment within 30 days after receipt of a notice of late payment shall constitute a default and shall obligate the person owing the unpaid balance to pay that balance in its entirety. d. Any development or phase thereof which has received preliminary approval prior to the development assessment liability date shall not be subject to the assessment and collection of a development fee under this act but shall be liable for the payment of off-site transportation improvements to the extent agreed upon under the applicable law, rule, regulation, ordinance or resolution in effect at the time of the agreement. Any development or phase thereof which receives preliminary approval after the development liability assessment date shall be subject to the assessment and collection of a development fee under this act, but shall receive a credit against the fee for the amount paid or obligated to be paid to State, county or municipal agencies for the cost of off-site transportation improvements under agreements entered into under the applicable law, rule, regulation, ordinance or resolution in effect at the time of the agreement. e. The ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, also shall provide for the establishment of a transportation development district trust fund under the control of the county treasurer or such other officer as appropriate. All monies collected from development fees and any other monies as may be available for the purposes of this act shall be deposited into the trust fund which is to be invested in an interest bearing account. f. An ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, adopted under this section also may contain provisions for: (1) delineating a core area within the district within which the conditions justifying creation of the district are most acute and providing for a reduced development fee rate to apply to developments inside that core area; (2) credits against assessed development fees for payments made or expenses incurred which have been determined by the governing body of the county to be in furtherance of the district transportation improvement plan, including but not limited to, contributions to transportation improvements, other than those required for safe and efficient highway access to a development, and costs attributable to the promotion of public transit or ridesharing; (3) exemptions from or reduced rates for development fees for specified land uses which have been determined by the governing body of the county to have a beneficial, neutral or comparatively minor adverse impact on the transportation needs of the district; (4) a reduced rate of development fees for developments for which construction permits were issued after the development assessment liability date but before the effective date of the ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, where those dates are different; and (5) a reduced rate of development fees for developers submitting a peak-hour automobile trip reduction plan approved by the commissioner under standards adopted by the commissioner by regulation. Standards for the approval of peak-hour automobile trip reduction plans may include, but need not be limited to, physical design for improved transit, ridesharing, and pedestrian access; incorporation of residential uses into predominantly nonresidential development; and proximity to potential labor pools. The ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, shall provide for the exemption from assessment of development fees for any development of low and moderate income housing units which are constructed pursuant to the "Fair Housing Act," P.L.1985, c.222 (C.52:27D-301 et seq.) or under court settlement. g. An ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, shall specify that any fees collected, plus earned interest, not committed to a transportation project under a project agreement entered into under section 9 of this act within 10 years of the date of collection shall be refunded to the feepayer under a procedure prescribed by the commissioner by regulation for this purpose, except that if the payer of the fee transfers the development or any portion thereof, he shall enter into an agreement with the grantee in such form as shall be provided by regulation of the commissioner which shall indicate who shall be entitled to receive any refund, and such agreement shall be filed with the designated county officer. h. An ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, shall be sufficiently certain and definitive to enable every person who may be required to pay a fee to know or calculate the limit and extent of the fee which will be assessed against a specific development proposal. Development fees shall be reasonably related to the added traffic growth attributable to the development which is subject to the assessment and the maximum amount of fees for transportation improvements that may be charged to any development by the State, county or municipality pursuant to this act or any other law shall not exceed the property owner's "fair share" of such improvement costs. "Fair share" means the added traffic growth attributable to the proposed development or phase thereof. Approval of a development application by any State, county or municipal body or agency shall not be withheld or delayed because of the necessity to construct an off-site transportation improvement if the developer has contributed his "fair share" obligation under the provisions of this act. i. Any person who has been assessed a development fee under the provisions of an ordinance or resolution adopted pursuant to this section may appeal the assessment by filing an appeal with the commissioner within 90 days of the receipt of notification of the amount of the assessment, on the grounds that the governing body or its officers or employees in issuing the assessment did not abide by the provisions of this act or the provisions of the ordinance or resolution issued hereunder or of the rules and regulations adopted by the commissioner pursuant to this act. The decision of the commissioner constitutes an administrative action subject to review by the Appellate Division of the Superior Court. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as limiting the ability of any person so assessed from filing an appeal based upon an agreement to pay or actual payment of the fee. L.1989,c.100,s.7.

The commissioner shall not agree to defend or indemnify any person for acts which arise from gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, intentional tort, bad faith or criminal wrongdoing or for claims for punitive or exemplary damages. An agreement to defend and indemnify pursuant to this section does not bar, reduce, limit or affect any remedies which the department may have to enforce its contract or to assert a claim for damages to which the department may be entitled arising out of the person's failure to perform the contract, or for the recovery of funds expended for the defense of a person if the defense was undertaken in response to a claim or cause of action brought against the person which is proven to have arisen from gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, intentional tort, bad faith, or criminal misconduct. No one other than the person performing construction or services pursuant to a written contract with the department has the right to enforce any agreement for defense or indemnification between that person and the commissioner. For purposes of this section, the term "person" means public or private corporations, companies, associations, societies, firms, partnerships, joint stock companies, individuals, public authorities, the United States, the State of New Jersey and any of its political subdivisions or agents. The term "services" means work performed by design or other expert consultants and work or technical functions performed by nonexperts on projects for public works, building or improvements, including work preliminary to construction under a contract and work which results in or from a contract modification. The term "hazardous substances" shall have the same meaning as provided in section 3 of P.L. 1976, c. 141 (C. 58:10-23.11b). L. 1986, c. 81, s. 1; amended 1987,c.417,s.1.
