A 4926 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs DEP and DOT to establish "Wildlife Corridor Action Plan." *

This bill (A4926) requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Department of Transportation (DOT) to create a "Wildlife Corridor Action Plan" within 24 months. The plan must identify wildlife corridors, road collision hotspots, and barriers to animal movement, then prioritize safe crossings to improve driver safety and wildlife connectivity. It mandates the plan be updated every 10 years and coordinates with conservation groups, federal agencies, and other state departments. The bill appropriates $90,000 from the General Fund to fund this work, directly affecting DEP, DOT, wildlife populations, and drivers on New Jersey roads.
