Requires school districts to provide transportation to public and nonpublic school pupils living along hazardous routes.
This bill requires New Jersey school districts to provide transportation for public and nonpublic school students living along routes designated as "hazardous" by the state. The Commissioner of Transportation, in consultation with the Commissioner of Education, will develop three definitions of hazardous routes for urban, suburban, and rural areas, considering factors like traffic volume, road conditions, and safety features such as blind curves or steep inclines. School districts must provide transportation for students on these designated routes and will receive 100% state funding to cover the costs. The bill repeals a previous law that allowed districts to independently designate hazardous routes for "courtesy busing" services.
