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. 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 develop a comprehensive action plan, identify data-driven strategies, promote transparent traffic safety data collection, and encourage active transportation and mass transit.

To fulfill its duties, the commission will adopt its action plan within 12 months of the bill's effective date, host public hearings for feedback, and maintain an interactive website to share information. Additionally, it will serve as an advisor to state agencies and assist local governments in developing their own target zero plans. The commission is also tasked with reporting annually on its findings and activities, including traffic fatality statistics, to the Governor and Legislature.
