Requires DHS and other appropriate State agencies to disseminate information on transportation options for persons with developmental disabilities.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services (DHS) and other state agencies that serve people with developmental disabilities to provide clear, accessible information about transportation options. Specifically, agencies must distribute written materials (like pamphlets) and post them online, including details such as contact numbers, eligibility rules, and whether caregivers can accompany users for services like the Access Link paratransit system. The Assistant Commissioner of Developmental Disabilities must develop these materials using simple language and visuals to help users understand transportation choices. The law aims to improve access to mobility resources for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.
