Bill Summary
This bill directs the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and the South Jersey Transportation Authority to equip service areas along the toll roads under their jurisdictions with hydrogen refueling stations that would fuel hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The authorities are directed to recover costs associated with the refueling stations from motorists who use the stations, in proportion to the motorists' use. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are electrically powered and they produce only water vapor as an emission. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles typically have a longer range than battery-powered electric vehicles and they can be refueled in approximately the same time and manner as a gasoline-powered vehicle. This bill would encourage New Jersey residents to purchase hydrogen fuel cell vehicles by ensuring that there are facilities available to refuel them.
AI Summary
This bill directs the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and the South Jersey Transportation Authority to install hydrogen refueling stations at their respective toll road service areas within two years. The authorities are required to recover the costs associated with the installation and operation of these stations from the motorists who use them, in proportion to their usage. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are electric vehicles that produce only water vapor as an emission and can be refueled more quickly than battery-powered electric vehicles, so this bill aims to encourage New Jersey residents to purchase these types of vehicles by ensuring the availability of refueling infrastructure.
