The New Jersey Department of Transportation received a formula grant award of $908,875.00 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on July 8, 2025, under the Metropolitan Transportation Planning and State and Non-Metropolitan Planning and Research program (CFDA 20.505). This award supports the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission's Fiscal Year 2026 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) central staff operations. The funding enables planning and coordination activities that advance metropolitan transportation planning objectives within the Delaware Valley region, a designated metropolitan planning area encompassing parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

As a formula grant, these funds support core transportation planning functions including the development of long-range transportation plans, technical studies, and transportation improvement programs that enhance multimodal mobility and connectivity. The central staff resources funded through this award facilitate collaboration among regional stakeholders, support public engagement processes, and enable the planning organization to conduct analyses and studies that inform investment decisions in the region's transportation network. This award represents a continuation of federal support for the ongoing transportation planning infrastructure necessary to address regional mobility, safety, and accessibility needs.
