Requires DHS and other appropriate state agencies to disseminate information on transportation options for persons with developmental disabilities.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services and other state agencies serving people with developmental disabilities to provide clear, accessible information about transportation options. Agencies must distribute written materials (like pamphlets) and post them online, including details such as contact numbers, eligibility rules, and whether caregivers can accompany users for services like Access Link paratransit. The materials must use simple language and imagery to help individuals with developmental disabilities and their families understand and access transportation systems. It directly affects people with developmental disabilities, their families, and state agencies that interact with them. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Health Committee.
