A 5014 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns certain county and municipal farm roadway improvement projects; establishes "Local Farm Roadway Improvement Fund."

This bill establishes the "Local Farm Roadway Improvement Fund" to provide financial assistance for road projects that address traffic disruptions caused by farm equipment. Counties and municipalities can apply to the Department of Transportation for grants or loans to fund improvements like expanded road shoulders or pull-off areas on roads frequently used by slow-moving farm vehicles. The fund, drawn from existing transportation appropriations, requires projects to relieve congestion in farm communities where farm equipment unduly disrupts traffic flow. It directly affects local governments seeking road upgrades and farmers operating slow-moving equipment on public roads.
