N.J. Admin. Code § 16:89-1.1 - Purpose

(a) NJ TRANSIT was established by the New Jersey Public Transportation Act of 1979, N.J.S.A. 27:25-1 et seq., as the instrumentality of the State government to establish and provide for the operation and improvement of a coherent public transportation system in the most efficient and effective manner. While pursuant to N.J.S.A. 27:25-5.h, NJ TRANSIT is authorized to operate ferry passenger service, it recognizes the important contribution of private ferry systems in the State's transportation network. As NJ TRANSIT receives the benefit of increased Federal funding by including private ferry mileage statistics in its annual submission to the National Transit Database of the Federal Transit Administration, NJ TRANSIT believes it is prudent public policy to establish a program to invest State of New Jersey funds for capital acquisitions and infrastructure improvements for ferry operators.

(b) This chapter is designed to provide procedures pursuant to which NJ TRANSIT will allocate funding for capital improvements to operators under a Ferry Capital Improvement Program.
