The New Jersey Department
of Transportation is committed to advancing projects that enhance
safety, renew the aging infrastructure and the State’s economy
and support new transportation opportunities. The Transportation
Trust Fund provides the opportunity for State assistance to local
governments for the funding of road, bridge and other transportation
projects. Annually, the Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) provides
$175 million in State Aid to municipalities and counties for local
transportation improvements. For FY 2007, the Municipal Aid funding
is $78.75 million for municipalities, $78.75 million for counties,
and $17.5 million Local Aid Infrastructure Fund.
In addition, several
programs which provide funding to counties and municipalities
are funded with federal monies available through the Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA 21) legislation.
