S 933 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOT, NJT, and DHS to study and implement transportation mobility and accessibility improvements for persons with autism and developmental disabilities.

S 933 requires New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT), New Jersey Transit (NJT), and Department of Human Services (DHS) to improve transportation accessibility for people with autism and developmental disabilities. The bill mandates a review of current infrastructure design practices for highways and transit projects, followed by adopting new standards to help these individuals travel independently. It also directs the agencies to study nationwide best practices for making public transportation and mobility programs more accessible. The DOT must then encourage local governments receiving state funding to adopt similar accessibility measures. This bill directly affects individuals with autism spectrum disorder and developmental disabilities by aiming to make public transportation systems more usable for them.
