Requires all motorbuses purchased for public transportation service to be electric-powered by 2035; makes annual appropriation of $82 million.
S 214 requires all public entities in New Jersey (including state agencies, counties, and municipalities) to purchase only electric-powered motorbuses for new public transit routes starting in 2030 (25% of new buses) and fully by 2035. The bill mandates that these entities prepare for the transition by training staff, retrofitting facilities, and reporting progress to the Governor and Legislature by March 1, 2025. It includes an annual appropriation of $82 million to support this transition. The law directly affects public transportation providers operating regular bus routes across the state.
