New Jersey DOT Announces More Than $5.6M in Federal Grants to Improve Local Transportation

TRENTON, NJ — The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) in partnership with the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) announces the awarding of more than $5.6 million in 10 federal grants under the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) and Transportation Alternatives Set-Asides (TA Set-Asides) programs.

“As part of NJDOT’s commitment to communities, we work with the three regional planning authorities to provide federal funding to counties and municipalities for local transportation projects that improve safety and strengthen the cultural, aesthetic and environmental aspects of our transportation system,” said NJDOT Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti. “The Safe Routes to School grants will provide resources to local communities throughout New Jersey to enhance our sidewalks and crosswalks to allow our children to safely walk or bike to school.”

The SRTS and TA Set-Asides are both federally-funded programs. SRTS was established in 2005 to increase pedestrian safety awareness among motorists and schoolchildren. The TA Set-Asides program was established by Congress in 2012 and is funded through a set aside of the Federal Aid Highway Program to provide funds for community based "non-traditional" projects that strengthen the nation's intermodal system.

The programs are administered by the NJDOT in partnership with the DVRPC, North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority and the South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization. The grants are for projects within the DVRPC region.
