The resolution establishes the Persons with Disabilities and Senior Citizen Transportation Services Task Force in New Jersey, aimed at studying and recommending improvements to transportation services for individuals with disabilities and senior citizens. The task force will consist of seven members, including state officials and representatives from advocacy organizations, and will operate without compensation, although members may be reimbursed for necessary expenses. The task force is tasked with examining various issues related to transportation accessibility, such as identifying obstacles, enhancing infrastructure and technology, improving independent travel training, and utilizing automated vehicle technology.
The task force is required to organize within 30 days of member appointments and will have the authority to hold public hearings and solicit input from state officials and the public. It must submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations, including potential legislative proposals, to the Governor and the Legislature within 18 months of its formation. The task force will dissolve upon the submission of this report.
