AI Summary

This Joint Resolution establishes the "Persons with Disabilities and Senior Citizen Transportation Services Task Force," a seven-member body composed of state officials and representatives from advocacy organizations, to study and recommend improvements to transportation services for these populations. The task force, which will include the Commissioners of Transportation and Human Services, the Executive Director of New Jersey Transit (NJ Transit), and appointed representatives, will examine issues such as transportation barriers, infrastructure and technology enhancements, travel training, real-time transit information, and the potential of automated vehicle technology to improve accessibility. The task force will organize within 30 days of member appointments, elect a chairperson, and can hold public hearings, solicit testimony, and utilize state agency resources. After considering these areas, the task force is required to submit a report with findings and legislative proposals to the Governor and the Legislature within 18 months of its organization, after which it will expire.
