New Jersey Ridesharing Act
New Jersey · Highways · §§ 27:26-1 to 27:26-5 · 5 sections
Overview
The Ridesharing Act governs arrangements in which commuters travel together to and from work, and the role employers play in sponsoring or facilitating them. It opens with a statement of legislative findings and purpose and defines the arrangements and participants that fall within its scope. Its operative provisions address the two questions that most often deter employer involvement: it grants employers immunity from liability connected to such arrangements, and it sets the rule for whether an employee's time spent traveling in one is compensable.
