This bill introduces an alternative compliance method for developers in New Jersey who must install electric vehicle charging infrastructure, allowing them to meet requirements based on total charging capacity rather than the number of equipped parking spaces. It directly affects developers, building owners, and parking facility operators subject to existing state laws requiring EV charging installations. The legislation defines key terms like "charging capacity" and "Make-Ready" parking, and authorizes the Site Improvement Advisory Board to create statewide standards that set minimum capacity requirements based on parking numbers and facility type. Developers can choose between the current number-based requirement or the new capacity-based option, with regulations to be established within 12 months of the bill's effective date.
This bill authorizes funding for on-demand micro transit services under New Jersey's Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Transportation Assistance Program. It directly affects senior citizens and disabled residents by allowing them to access technology-enabled shared transportation that lets them choose pick-up and drop-off locations via phone or mobile app. The legislation amends existing state law to formally define "on-demand micro transit" and update related terminology within the transportation assistance framework. The program operates through the New Jersey Transit Corporation in coordination with local counties and advisory committees to ensure services meet accessibility needs.
This bill (A 2132) requires operators of New Jersey's Access Link paratransit service to announce every scheduled stop on their route, either verbally or via a recording system. It directly affects Access Link drivers and the New Jersey Transit Corporation, which operates this ADA-compliant paratransit service for riders with disabilities. Currently, only fixed-route transit systems (like buses on set schedules) must announce stops, but Access Link - being a non-fixed-route service - was previously exempt. The bill extends the stop-announcement requirement to all Access Link vehicles to improve accessibility and rider awareness. It takes effect two months after enactment.
This bill authorizes the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank to spend $65.55 million in loans for transportation infrastructure projects during the 2027 fiscal year. The legislation allows the bank to provide funding to local government units for construction costs and includes specific provisions for forgiving up to $1 million in planning and design loans under certain conditions. Additionally, the act permits the bank to use additional funds to cover its own operational expenses, such as bond issuance costs and reserve requirements. While the text lists specific eligible projects, the summary of those details is incomplete in the provided document.
This New Jersey bill prohibits drivers from operating vehicles with intentionally obstructed license plates and bans the possession or transfer of merchandise designed to hide or alter license plates. The legislation specifically targets items like retractable plate holders, reflective sprays, blackout covers, and plate-flipping devices, while exempting newspapers that publish classified ads for such goods. Violators face fines up to $500 for a first offense and $750 for subsequent offenses, along with penalty points on their driving record for third or later violations.
This bill creates the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) to coordinate transportation planning and infrastructure across southern New Jersey counties, including Burlington County. The SJTA replaces the New Jersey Expressway Authority and Atlantic County Transportation Authority, managing highway systems, aviation facilities, and related economic development projects in the region. It explicitly encompasses Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem counties as part of its jurisdiction. The authority does not replace the Transportation Trust Fund or New Jersey Transit Corporation's public transit services.
This bill requires school bus drivers, aides, and personnel to call 911 during potential life-threatening emergencies involving students. It also mandates that school buses transporting students with disabilities be equipped with specific safety features (though the exact features are not detailed in the provided text). The bill updates training requirements to include recognizing life-threatening emergencies and proper procedures for students with disabilities, requiring twice-yearly training and certification for all personnel. These changes apply to school bus contractors and school districts in New Jersey, with implementation tied to a pending training program update. The bill includes funding (an appropriation) for these requirements.
This bill clarifies how New Jersey calculates the number of electric vehicle parking spaces required for new developments, specifically rounding up any fractional amounts to ensure developers meet the mandated percentage. It also establishes a limit preventing these rounded-up spaces from reducing the overall parking supply by more than 10 percent. The legislation directly affects developers, property owners, and local land use boards by modifying how parking requirements are determined for multi-unit dwellings and other parking facilities.
This bill allows developers in New Jersey to meet electric vehicle charging infrastructure requirements by demonstrating total charging capacity rather than strictly counting the number of equipped parking spaces. It affects construction projects requiring EV supply equipment or Make-Ready parking spaces by offering an alternative compliance method based on kilowatt output. The legislation directs the Site Improvement Advisory Board to create statewide standards within 12 months that specify minimum capacity requirements for different building types and establish equivalency rules for various charging equipment. Developers can choose between the traditional parking space count method or the new capacity-based approach, with the latter requiring adherence to uniform regulations to be implemented.
This bill amends the South Jersey Transportation Authority Act to formally include Burlington County as a represented county within the authority's jurisdiction. The legislation expands the authority's scope to cover Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem counties, ensuring Burlington County has a voice in regional transportation planning and decision-making. The bill defines the authority's powers to manage expressways, aviation facilities, and related economic development projects across the designated region. It clarifies that the authority's activities complement but do not replace existing state transportation funding and public transit services.
