A 3082 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes public-private partnerships to share de-identified traffic data.

This bill creates a framework for New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT) to partner with private companies to collect and share de-identified traffic data. It allows private entities to handle the development and operation of data projects using location information (like vehicle positions within 1,750 feet) and driving conditions, as long as the data cannot be linked to specific individuals. The goal is to provide real-time, accurate information to motorists and the DOT about road closures, weather, and traffic conditions. All projects must comply with state data privacy laws, and private partners are explicitly not considered state agencies.
