The Senate Transportation Committee moved several bills out of committee during the meeting.
Clerk (speaker 2) summarized each bill for the record: S.164 would create a New Jersey Council on Access and Mobility; S.179 would establish the NJ PASS program to allow organizations to purchase discounted transit cards for eligible program participants; S.1808 proposes a $100,000 NJ Transit pilot; S.4464 would provide toll discounts for veterans; and S.4466 (and companion A.5071) would require lactation rooms at certain Port Authority airports. Committee members repeatedly described these as "common sense" measures and the bills were released or amended and released by roll call.
Chair (speaker 1) framed the package as practical steps to improve access and quality of life. "Anything we can do to benefit our veterans, and we should all be behind," the chair said regarding toll discounts. The committee recorded roll calls and released the measures for further consideration.
