An Act concerning the Department of Transportation's implementation of a complete streets policy and supplementing Title 27 of the Revised Statutes.

AI Summary

This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) to implement a "complete streets" policy that considers the needs of individuals with certain disabilities, including those with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual and developmental disabilities. The policy must ensure that new and rehabilitated public highways and transportation projects provide safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and those with mobility impairments. The DOT is also required to develop universal design concepts and guidance to incorporate these considerations into the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of transportation projects. Additionally, the DOT is encouraged to promote the adoption of similar complete streets policies by regional and local entities that apply for funding through the local aid program.
