This bill mandates the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) to conduct a study within six months of its effective date to assess the capacity of public highways to support the additional weight of electric vehicles. The study will evaluate each highway's ability to handle this weight, provide recommendations for improvements, and create a ranked list of highways based on their capacity to accommodate electric vehicles. Following the study, the DOT is required to submit a report to the Governor and the Legislature detailing the findings and recommendations.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that when selecting public highway projects for the Annual Transportation Capital Program, the DOT must prioritize those that address the inability of certain highways to accommodate electric vehicles. Furthermore, project sponsors must certify that their projects will enable highways to support the additional weight of electric vehicles as a condition for receiving funding. The bill also allows the DOT to adopt necessary rules and regulations to implement its provisions, with the stipulation that certain sections remain inoperable until the completion of the study.
