TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senators Shirley K. Turner (D – Mercer, Hunterdon) and Donald Norcross (D – Camden) that would prohibit New Jersey Transit (NJ Transit) from denying entry or use of any vehicle to a person who uses a guide or service dog cleared the full Senate today.
“We should be doing everything we can to prevent discrimination against those with special needs,” said Senator Turner. “Allowing those who use guide or service dogs the same access to transportation as everyone else is really a matter of common sense. They are entitled to the same rights as any other individual who enjoys public transportation.”
