S 332 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes creation of "New Jersey Council on Access and Mobility."

This bill creates the New Jersey Council on Access and Mobility, a 17-member body within the Department of Transportation. The council includes state agency heads and six public members with expertise in disability/senior transportation services, representing organizations like Disability Rights New Jersey and The Arc of New Jersey. Its key duties are to annually study transportation services for people with disabilities and seniors, analyze federal funding opportunities, coordinate across state agencies, and make recommendations to improve mobility programs. The council will operate without member pay but with reimbursement for expenses, meeting at least yearly. This procedural bill directly affects how New Jersey coordinates transportation services for vulnerable populations, focusing on better funding access and service integration.
