A 723 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOT to implement highway safety program for increased commercial motor vehicle parking; appropriates up to $50,000,000.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A723 requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to create additional safe parking zones for commercial motor vehicles along federal-aid highways. It directly affects commercial truck drivers and operators by providing designated, safer parking areas, reducing unsafe roadside parking. The bill appropriates up to $50 million from federal infrastructure funds (per the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) to cover eligible costs for these parking zones. The DOT must report annually on program details, including locations, safety impacts, and funds spent, until the allocated money is exhausted.
