A 3940 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits municipalities to require developers to make contributions for mass transit improvements.

This bill allows New Jersey municipalities to require developers to contribute to the cost of off-tract mass transit improvements (like bus stops or rail access) that are necessitated by new construction, similar to existing rules for streets and utilities. It directly affects developers building in municipalities that adopt such regulations, requiring them to pay a fair, pro-rata share based on municipal plans. Key provisions include mandating consultation with mass transit agencies when creating these regulations and giving developers one year to challenge the payment amount legally. The change updates current law, which previously only permitted contributions for street, water, sewer, and drainage improvements.
