S 2044 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires establishment of grant programs to provide workforce shuttles and cover transportation costs; appropriates $10 million in federal funds.

This bill establishes a state-funded grant program to support commuter shuttle services for workers in rapidly growing areas. It appropriates $10 million annually to the New Jersey Department of Transportation for grants to local governments and nonprofits that operate shuttle services, covering costs like vehicle leasing and operations (but not capital purchases). To qualify, applicants must partner with employers who commit to funding the service and target high-traffic corridors. The program aims to reduce congestion by expanding shuttle access for employees of small businesses, nonprofits, and temporary staffing firms.
