This bill mandates the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) to create a universal application for all grant programs it administers. The application must be published on the department's website within three months of the bill's effective date and should include all necessary information for applicants to submit a complete application for review. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that all grant applications must be submitted using this universal application once it is published.

To ensure public awareness, the DOT is required to notify the public 30 days before the universal application is made available online, thereby educating prospective grant applicants about the new application process. The department is also authorized to adopt any necessary rules and regulations to implement these provisions in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
