Requires DOT to consult Department of Agriculture and County Agriculture Development Boards when developing transportation capital project list.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT) to consult with the Department of Agriculture and local County Agriculture Development Boards when creating the state's annual transportation capital project list. It mandates DOT to develop a method for incorporating identified agricultural transportation needs - such as road conditions affecting farm access - into its project evaluation systems. The policy directly affects New Jersey's agricultural community by ensuring farming infrastructure needs are considered in transportation planning. This change aims to support farm viability through better-connected infrastructure, without altering existing funding levels or project selection criteria.
