Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) A TNC shall issue two identifying markers to every TNC driver, which shall be displayed by the TNC driver in accordance with N.J.S.A. 39:5H-23.b(2), on the front windshield and rear window of the driver's personal vehicle while the driver is logged on to the TNC's digital network as a driver or is providing a prearranged ride. The identifying markers shall be reflective, capable of being illuminated, or both.
(b) The identifying marker shall be sufficient to allow a passenger, government official, or member of the public to identify the TNC with which the vehicle is affiliated, and shall be of such size, shape, and color or color-contrast as to be readily identifiable during daylight hours from a distance of 50 feet while the vehicle is not in motion and shall be reflective, illuminated, or otherwise patently visible in darkness.
(c) If the identifying markers are capable of being illuminated, the driver shall have the identifying markers illuminated and visible from the outside of the vehicle from a distance of 500 feet during times of darkness while the driver is logged on to the TNC's digital network as a driver or when the driver is providing a prearranged ride.
(d) A driver shall not allow the identifying markers on the driver's vehicle to be obstructed at any time when the driver is logged on to the TNC's digital network as a driver or when the driver is providing a prearranged ride.
(e) The identifying markers may be removable, but no driver shall log on to the digital network as a driver or provide a prearranged ride in his or her personal vehicle as a driver without displaying the TNC's identifying markers in accordance with this section.
(f) No person shall operate a vehicle bearing a TNC's identifying markers issued in accordance with this section without the authorization of the TNC issuing the identifying markers.
(g) A driver shall return the identifying markers issued pursuant to this section to the TNC within 30 days of the date the driver notifies the TNC that the driver is terminating status as a driver, or within 24 hours if the driver's status is terminated by the TNC and shall not provide prearranged rides using the TNC's digital network.
(h) The TNC shall notify the driver of this requirement to return identifying markers, and the timeframe in which the driver is to return them within 15 days after the date that the driver notifies the TNC that the driver is terminating status as a driver, or simultaneously with the notice of termination if the TNC terminates the driver.
