A 314 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOT, NJT, and DHS to study and implement transportation mobility and accessibility improvements for persons with physical disabilities.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT), New Jersey Transit (NJT), and Department of Human Services (DHS) to study and improve transportation accessibility for people with physical disabilities. Specifically, the agencies must review current infrastructure design practices for highways and transit projects, then adopt new standards to help individuals with disabilities travel independently. They must also study nationwide best practices for making public transportation and mobility programs more accessible. The DOT must encourage local governments receiving state funding to adopt these new accessibility standards in their projects.
