NJ LAWMAKER WANTS TO TRACK, REPAIR EVERY POTHOLE IN THE GARDEN STATE


NEW LEGISLATION SPONSORED BY SENATE MINORITY LEADER ANTHONY M. BUCCO (R-25TH
DIST.) WOULD REQUIRE THE NJDOT TO IDENTIFY POTHOLES ON STATE ROADS -- AND THE
COSTS TO FIX THEM -- IN THEIR ANNUAL REPORT

Proposed legislation in New Jersey would track every pothole in the Garden State
in hopes of repairing the road hazards.

New Jersey Senate Minority Leader Anthony M. Bucco (R-25th dist.) is getting
serious about repairing potholes on state roads with new legislation.

The new bill would require the state's Department of Transportation to begin
providing information about potholes on state roads in its annual Roadway
Pavement System report

Bucco's pothole bill was recently approved by the Senate Transportation
Committee.

“Every day, New Jerseyans navigate a complex network of roadways to commute
throughout our State. It is imperative that our roads are maintained for the
safety of our commuters,” said Bucco in a statement on the legislation.
“Unfortunately, New Jersey faces a significant problem with potholes along our
State roads. My legislation would help improve State road maintenance by
requiring the DOT to begin providing information about pothole repairs and
pothole damage claims in their annual report to the Legislature.”

In a statement discussing the reason for the new bill, Bocco's office noted that
under current law, the NJDOT is required to provide an annual report to the
Governor and lawmakers on New Jersey’s roadway pavement system.

The DOT uses this report to identify, repair and maintain projects that were
completed throughout the fiscal year, Bocco's office said.

But, the office said in a statement, this report currently does not include
information about potholes.

According to Bucco's office, if it becomes law, this bill would require the DOT
to begin including information about pothole repair projects and their cost in
their annual report.

The DOT would also be required to conduct a cost analysis, and, Bucco's office
noted, the department would report on the number of pothole damage claims
submitted by commuters on state roadways.

This information would also be made available to the public, the office said.

“This bill takes an important step towards improving road safety and
transportation transparency,” Bucco said in a statement. “By obtaining pothole
repair and damage claim data from the DOT, the legislature can work towards
implementing targeted solutions that enhance roadways throughout the Garden
State.”
