Requires DOT to provide additional information in annual report on pavement condition; makes report available to public.*
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT) to add specific details to its annual pavement condition report, including the number of pothole repair projects, their costs, allocated resources, and estimated timeframes for all maintenance work. It also mandates a lifecycle cost analysis of pavement surfaces, factoring in user expenses like vehicle damage claims from potholes and associated repair costs recorded by the Division of Risk Management. Both the updated annual report and the lifecycle analysis must be published online for public access. The changes aim to increase transparency about road maintenance efforts and costs without altering current repair practices.
