S 4369 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

"Road to Relief Act"; establishes EDA grant program to support increased transportation expenses incurred by certain commuters, employees, and businesses impacted by certain public highway projects, including ongoing Interstate 80 project; appropriates $1 million.

The Road to Relief Act (S 4369) creates a New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) grant program to reimburse specific commuters, full-time retail business employees, and retail businesses for increased transportation costs caused by public highway projects - like the ongoing I-80 construction. It provides financial assistance for the *difference* between pre-project and during-project transportation expenses, requiring applicants to submit documentation of both periods for the same number of days. The program covers costs such as longer commutes or delivery delays when a highway project blocks normal traffic flow in an "impacted construction zone." It appropriates $1 million to fund the EDA’s administration of the program, which applies only to projects where traffic disruptions directly affect eligible individuals or businesses.
