Under the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority’s (NJTPA) Complete Streets Technical Assistance Program, the NJTPA, Sustainable Jersey and the Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University are seeking applications from municipalities to receive free technical assistance services for a specific project related to advancing a complete streets initiative in their communities.
All municipal governments within the thirteen counties that comprise the NJTPA region – Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union, and Warren – are eligible to apply.
Projects will be three to six months in duration. Project delivery will be between February and September 2020. The program does not provide direct funding to municipalities. Examples of projects that have previously been delivered under this program can be found on the NJTPA’s complete streets webpage. A project selection committee will select up to eight municipalities to receive technical assistance services in a competitive process based on objective criteria.
