As you know, NJDOT’s Municipal Aid Program becomes more popular and is very competitive statewide. Annually, the Department provides $78.75 million in Municipal Aid from the Transportation Trust Fund (TTF). Under Governor Corzine’s leadership, this year, an additional $25 million from the TTF has been programmed in an effort to further assist municipalities statewide to address their transportation needs.

NJDOT is committed to providing statewide assistance to local governments for improvement and preservation of the local transportation network. The completion of these projects will help achieve this goal and pursue a transportation strategy that provides mobility through managing the local roadway system.

Thank you for your continued support of NJDOT. If you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to contact Sharon Shinkle Gardner at (609) 530-3686.

Sincerely,

Stephen Dilts
Commissioner
