Both A-975 and A-4470 passed out of committee Despite NJMTA Opposition

A975 - Requires commercial motor vehicles to be equipped with certain global positioning systems. This legislation would essentially require all commercial trucks to have truck GPS systems onboard. ATA provided us a letter which was submitted to the committee.

Here is press release from Assemblyman DiMaio on the GPS bill.

To view bill: NJ Legislature 


A4470 - Concerns trucks (10,000 pounds or more) driving in the farthest left-hand lane of State highway system and State toll roads. For months we have sought a meeting with the bill’s sponsors and have heard nothing. This bill would require all trucks to stay out of the left lane on 2 or 3 lane state roads. On two lane roads this would create a wall of trucks on the right lane – a very unsafe situation. Fines would be increased, and the driver would be required to appear in court. no mail in fines or sending please by mail or electronically!
