Section 19:75-5.3 - Accident or other emergency procedures

(a) If any bus shall be involved in a motor vehicle accident, or if there shall be an emergency circumstance, including, but not limited to, a mechanical breakdown of a bus, which requires the bus to be stopped for any length of time along a public roadway within the South Jersey Transportation Authority Service Area, the bus operator, or, if not practical for the bus operator to do so, a representative of the permit or medallion holder, shall promptly notify an Authority representative of such stoppage and provide requested information regarding the motor vehicle accident or other emergency circumstance.

(b) If such a motor vehicle accident or other emergency circumstance shall occur within the jurisdictional limits of Atlantic County, upon receiving notice of such circumstance, an Authority representative may determine if it is appropriate to arrange for emergency transportation of the bus passengers to an approved facility or other designated location and if such emergency transportation service is available, in which event, the Authority representative shall endeavor to arrange for such emergency transportation service.

(c) Permit and medallion holders shall reimburse the Authority for its actual costs reasonably incurred in providing emergency transportation service upon receipt of an invoice for such costs. Any permit or medallion holder which fails to pay such invoice will be responsible for payment of reasonable collection fees, attorneys' fees and court costs incurred by the Authority should it be necessary to commence collection proceedings.
