Bill > AJR138

This Joint Resolution establishes the "Persons with Disabilities and Senior Citizen Transportation Services Task Force," a seven-member group composed of state officials like the Commissioners of Transportation and Human Services, the Executive Director of New Jersey Transit, and representatives from advocacy organizations for people with disabilities and senior citizens, with appointments made by the Governor, Senate President, and Assembly Speaker. This task force, which will serve without compensation but can be reimbursed for expenses, is charged with studying and recommending improvements to transportation services for these populations, specifically examining obstacles and solutions, enhancing infrastructure and technology for seamless mobility, improving independent travel training, utilizing real-time transit technology for passenger information, and exploring how automated and connected vehicle technology can increase accessibility. The task force must organize within 30 days, elect a chairperson, and can hold public hearings, requesting assistance from state and local agencies, and will expire 18 months after its organizational meeting upon submitting a report with findings and legislative proposals to the Governor and the Legislature.
