Requires DOT to implement highway safety program for increased commercial motor vehicle parking; appropriates up to $50,000,000.
New Jersey's S 2139 requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to create additional safe parking zones for commercial motor vehicles along federal-aid highways. The bill appropriates up to $50 million from federal infrastructure funds to cover costs for these parking spaces, directly benefiting truck drivers and commercial vehicle operators. The DOT must report annually on program progress, including locations created, funds spent, and safety impacts, until the funds are exhausted. This establishes a concrete safety program without altering existing laws or regulations.
