Directs DOLWD to establish "Entry-Level Driver Training Grant Program."
This bill establishes a state grant program that reimburses New Jersey employers and non-profits for providing entry-level commercial driver training. To qualify for reimbursement, training providers must meet federal standards, be certified by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and document that trainees passed required exams. The program will be funded using existing federal workforce development funds from the American Rescue Plan Act and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. This policy shifts the cost of training from individual drivers to employers, reducing financial barriers for new commercial drivers.
