N.J. Admin. Code § 16:83-1.4

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 16:83-1.4 - Non-commercial expression

(a) NJ TRANSIT, in this chapter, hereby sets forth limitations on the times, places, and manner of non-commercial expression in or on NJ TRANSIT facilities or equipment to ensure that the orderly and safe flow of people and vehicles is not obstructed and that the normal operations of business are not unduly disrupted. These limitations are not intended to apply, nor do they apply to, talking, reading, wearing political buttons or other similar private forms of expression, all of which are permitted throughout the public areas of NJ TRANSIT facilities and equipment.

(b) NJ TRANSIT will not permit the distribution of products or services at any NJ TRANSIT facility, regardless of whether a contribution is solicited or not, if in NJ TRANSIT's sole opinion, the product or service competes with, or conflicts with, the sale of products or services by NJ TRANSIT tenants, lessees, or licensees at that location.

(c) NJ TRANSIT contracts for the display of paid advertising on, within and about NJ TRANSIT facilities as a vital component of its program to generate revenues in support of its mass transit operations. From time to time, at its sole discretion, NJ TRANSIT makes available Bridge Banner Permits, which are issued to organizations for the purpose of advertising non-commercial community special events. NJ TRANSIT reserves the right to use any railroad bridge or other facility for commercial advertising and may discontinue the use of any railroad bridge or other facility for the advertisement of non-commercial community special events at any time. Banners hung without NJ TRANSIT permission will be removed.
