NEWARK, NJ – In a radical move to enhance traveler experience, New Jersey has passed the “Sensory Turnpike Act.” This law mandates the hiring of Turnpike Aroma Curators (TACs) to manage, monitor, and chemically adjust the air quality and scent profile along the state’s busiest highways.
TACs operate from specialized mobile labs, ensuring that the air along key corridors smells distinctly appealing, usually featuring notes of “sea breeze” or “freshly baked bagels.” This initiative has created thousands of highly technical olfactory jobs, including:
- Exit Ramp Pheromone Programmer: Designing specific, mood-lifting scents near heavily congested exits.
- Salt Marsh Neutralization Specialist: Focusing on eliminating localized unpleasant odors.
- Bagel-Based Fuel Cell Technician: Experimentally powering the scent dispensers with fermented wheat products.
The New Jersey Institute of Olfactory Science is the only place offering the necessary certification. Graduates receive high salaries and the satisfaction of knowing they are making the Garden State the best-smelling commute in America.
