Requires DOT to prioritize green stormwater infrastructure in design, construction, reconstruction, and repair of public highways.

S 1024 requires New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT) to prioritize green stormwater infrastructure - such as permeable surfaces, rain gardens, and vegetated swales - in the design, construction, reconstruction, and repair of public highways funded by the Special Transportation Fund. This policy change directly affects DOT highway projects using state transportation funds, directing them to reduce stormwater runoff through nature-based solutions. The bill mandates DOT to establish a program implementing these practices "to the extent practicable," defining green infrastructure as methods treating runoff via vegetation, soil, or reuse. It does not create new funding but redirects how existing transportation funds are applied to highway projects.
