The bill establishes the New Jersey Target Zero Commission, which will operate under the Department of Transportation and consist of 13 members, including various state commissioners and executive directors from transportation-related agencies. The commission's primary purpose is to study and review traffic safety, focusing on access, equity, and mobility for all road users. It aims to advise the Governor, Legislature, and Department of Transportation on policies and programs to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2040. The commission is required to hold public hearings, develop a comprehensive action plan, and promote data transparency regarding traffic safety.

To fulfill its objectives, the commission will implement a safe system approach, which includes strategies for roadway design, speed management, and equitable enforcement. It will also create a publicly accessible data portal to share traffic safety information and provide guidance to local governments on developing their own target zero plans. The commission is tasked with reporting its findings and activities annually to the Governor and Legislature, ensuring accountability and progress towards the goal of zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries.
