It requires commuter rail agencies with transfer stations to develop ‘special events service plans’ that ensure convenient access to events without requiring transfers, offer ticket interoperability, and integrate with intercity rail fare systems. The bill also mandates that regional rail operators operating within intercity rail corridors fully integrate their fare systems by July 1, 2027, and requires interagency transfer agreements to include supplemental service plans for major events.
