AI Summary

This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Transportation to establish two grant programs: the "Workforce Shuttle Grant Program" and a temporary program to provide grants to small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and temporary help service firms to offset transportation costs. The Workforce Shuttle Grant Program will provide funding to local government units and nonprofit organizations to purchase and operate workforce shuttles in areas experiencing rapid population and housing growth, with the goal of reducing traffic congestion. The temporary program will provide grants to eligible entities until the Workforce Shuttle Grant Program is operational. The bill appropriates $10 million in federal funds from the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund to support the temporary grant program.
