Requires Commissioner of Education to establish criteria to be used by school districts in designating hazardous routes and provides State aid for each student transported along designated hazardous routes.

This bill requires the New Jersey Commissioner of Education, in partnership with the Transportation Commissioner, to create specific criteria for school districts to identify ‘hazardous routes’ for students needing courtesy busing. It also provides state funding to school districts for students transported along these designated routes. The legislation establishes procedures for designating and maintaining these routes, including regular inspections and reporting requirements, and aims to improve student safety during school commutes.
