Requires DOT to establish five-year highway litter mitigation pilot program and flood mitigation pilot program in certain cities; appropriates $1 million.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT) to launch two five-year pilot programs in Jersey City, Camden, and Atlantic City: a highway litter mitigation program and a flood mitigation program. The litter program mandates quarterly cleanup of trash, graffiti, and sewage blockages on state highways, while the flood program identifies and addresses flood-prone roads through temporary solutions and drainage improvements. The state appropriates $1 million total ($500,000 per program) to cover implementation costs, with both programs requiring detailed reports on effectiveness and recommendations for potential statewide expansion. The programs expire after the DOT submits final reports to the Governor and Legislature.
