New Jersey A4045 mandates the removal of remote access features from buses and trains to mitigate cybersecurity risks.

New Jersey A4045 requires the New Jersey Transit Corporation to review each bus and train for remote access features that could pose cybersecurity or operational risks. If such features, like a "kill switch," are identified and deemed unnecessary for public safety or regulatory compliance, they must be removed or disabled. This action follows an investigation in Norway that revealed potential vulnerabilities. Essential emergency safety functions are exempt if reasonable safeguards are in place.
