The New Jersey Department of Transportation's (NJDOT) youth corps initiative is a federally funded, community service grant program, which is designed to partner NJDOT with not-for-profits, community-based organizations or other entities with established youth programs who carry out transportation-related gateway enhancement projects. One of the fundamental benefits of the program is funding for youth employment. Youth participants gain valuable work experience through employment on small, community gateway enhancement projects. They also gain a sense of community pride by engaging in paid, productive community service work. NJDOT benefits from the enhancement projects which improve the appearance of State roadways in urban areas.

National Boating Infrastructure Grant (NBIG) Program funds are provided through the US Department of the Interior, US Fish and Wildlife Service to states “to construct, renovate, and maintain tie-up facilities” for transient, recreational vessels 26 feet or more in length, and are distributed annually. Interested parties must review the final Federal Register announcement regarding the particulars of the program.

NJDOT is currently accepting Letters of Interest (LOI) for the NBIG program.

The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) provides federal funds for community based "non-traditional" projects designed to strengthen the cultural, aesthetic and environmental aspects of the nation's intermodal system. TAP projects must relate to surface transportation.  Nonprofit organizations will not be directly eligible to apply for this solicitation. However, nonprofit organizations may partner with a local public agency that will assume responsibility and administration for the grant.

NJDOT is not currently accepting applications for the Transportation Alternatives Program.
