Introduction

The Transportation Capital Program for FY 2020 describes the planned capital investments for the State fiscal year starting July 1, 2019. It represents the annual element of the New Jersey Department of Transportations and NJ Transits federal Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

Focusing on the Departments and Transit's Core Mission—safety, infrastructure preservation, mass transit, mobility and congestion relief, and operations and maintenance—this Capital Program outlines projects and programs that rebuild and maintain the States bridges and roads, provide mass transit services, and reduce congestion by deploying Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technology.
