A 2915 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns certain county and municipal farm roadway improvement projects; establishes "Local Farm Roadway Improvement Fund."

This bill creates a "Local Farm Roadway Improvement Fund" to help counties and municipalities fund road projects that address traffic disruptions caused by farm equipment. It allows local governments to apply for grants or loans from this fund to improve roads where slow-moving farm vehicles (like tractors) frequently disrupt traffic flow, such as by adding wider shoulders or designated passing areas. The fund is financed using 7% of existing state highway funds allocated annually, as specified in amended transportation law. The bill directly affects rural communities with agricultural activity and aims to improve safety and traffic efficiency for farm operations.
