The bill establishes the "New Jersey Target Zero Commission" within the Department of Transportation, consisting 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 eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2040 through a comprehensive action plan that incorporates engineering, education, and enforcement strategies. The commission is required to hold public hearings, consult with stakeholders, and promote effective data collection on traffic safety.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific definitions related to active transportation, personal conveyances, and traffic control systems. It emphasizes a "safe system approach" to traffic safety, which acknowledges human vulnerability and aims for proactive safety measures. Notably, the commission's action plan will not include the implementation of traffic control signal monitoring systems for issuing summonses or penalties for violations. The Department of Transportation is tasked with creating necessary regulations to implement the bill's provisions, which will take effect immediately upon approval.
