New Jersey A2740 mandates permits for high-traffic facilities to reduce air pollution.

New Jersey A2740 establishes a permit program for high-traffic facilities to reduce air pollution. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will require these facilities to obtain permits and implement annual air pollution mitigation measures. Facilities must use a points-based system to earn credits through actions like purchasing battery-electric trucks and installing solar power systems. The goal is to achieve zero air pollution emissions by 2050. The bill defines "regulated facilities" as those used for goods distribution with specific square footage or truck trip criteria.
