"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 3675) creates a $1 million grant program administered by New Jersey's Economic Development Authority (EDA) to reimburse increased transportation costs for specific groups affected by highway projects. It directly assists commuters, full-time retail business employees, and retail businesses operating within areas blocked by highway construction (like the ongoing Interstate 80 project), during the project's active period. Applicants must document their regular pre-project transportation expenses and prove increased costs during the "relief period" caused by the project. Grants cover the difference between these costs, paid as a reimbursement based on submitted evidence. The program is limited to $1 million in total funding.
