Requires DOT to confirm availability and prioritize establishment of park-and-ride options near major warehouse facilities.

This bill (A1208) requires New Jersey’s Department of Transportation (DOT) to review existing park-and-ride facilities near major warehouse facilities (defined as buildings over 100,000 sq. ft used for storing goods for sale) and prioritize establishing new ones if no existing options exist to reduce traffic congestion on local roads connecting warehouses to transit hubs. The DOT must conduct this review, establish new park-and-ride lots where needed, and submit biennial reports to the Governor and Legislature detailing availability and new facilities. It directly affects warehouse workers who commute by car and local communities dealing with traffic near large distribution centers. The policy change mandates specific DOT actions to improve transit access without altering existing traffic laws or funding mechanisms.
