N.J.S.A. 40:48-4.10 — Findings, declarations.

40:48-4.10. Findings, declarations. The Legislature finds and declares that many senior citizens and handicapped citizens of this State need to be provided with transportation services to obtain the necessities of life, such as food, clothing and medical services and to visit their families and friends, all of which is essential to their health, safety and welfare; that many senior citizens and handicapped citizens live on fixed incomes and are unable to provide for their own transportation needs. It is, therefore, declared to be a valid public purpose, and in the best interest of the citizens of this State, to allow municipalities to supply free or low cost transportation services to senior citizens and handicapped citizens, provided the transportation services are noncompetitive with available public transportation services. L. 1985, c. 199, s. 1, eff. June 26, 1985.
