NJ A4926

Requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Department of Transportation (DOT) to jointly develop a "Wildlife Corridor Action Plan" within 36 months, with mandatory updates every 10 years

The plan must identify wildlife corridors, wildlife-vehicle collision hotspots, and barriers to wildlife movement, while recommending criteria for crossing projects that promote driver safety and wildlife connectivity

Within 36 months after the plan is submitted, DOT must review it and recommend crossing projects that can be incorporated into transportation projects (excluding those past the concept development phase)

The plan must coordinate with existing conservation strategies including State wildlife action plans and DEP's "Connecting Habitat Across New Jersey" (NJ CHANJ) project

Both DEP and DOT may adopt rules and regulations to implement the act and may consult with other state and federal agencies, as well as conservation and wildlife organizations
