Establishes Senior Citizen Transportation Grant Program in DHS; appropriates $2.5 million for grant program.
New Jersey's Assembly Bill A2354 establishes a state-funded grant program within the Department of Human Services to support free transportation services for seniors. The bill appropriates $2.5 million to provide municipalities with grants (up to $25,000 each) to create or expand programs offering round-trip transportation for seniors aged 55+ to medical appointments, shopping, recreation, or other needs - without cost to users or income requirements. Municipalities must apply with details about existing services, proposed use of funds, and expected beneficiaries, with applications accepted for a six-month window starting within 180 days of the bill's enactment. Unspent funds revert to the state general fund 180 days after the Department of Human Services submits its final report to the legislature.
