Planning Resources

Besides promoting safety information and recreational opportunities for bicyclists, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is also responsible for the plan and design of bicycle facilities on New Jersey highways.

NJDOT offers engineering guidelines, a Master Plan for roadways that are compatible with bicyclists and walkers and a resource center for statewide projects.
