Traffic monitoring system data collection, roadway inventory and digital imaging services-central, year 1, -statewide planning

The New Jersey Department of Transportation received a Formula Grant award of $2.2M from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective September 9, 2025, with completion targeted for September 30, 2029. This award supports statewide traffic monitoring system data collection, roadway inventory development, and digital imaging services for the central region of New Jersey's transportation network. These services constitute critical planning and preliminary engineering activities authorized under the IIJA-funded Highway Planning and Construction program.

The grant deliverables directly support NJDOT's statewide planning and transportation infrastructure management objectives by establishing comprehensive traffic data collection infrastructure and maintaining current roadway asset inventories through digital documentation. The four-year project duration and funding level align with typical state DOT planning and research initiatives that inform future highway preservation, construction, and safety improvement decisions within New Jersey's transportation network.
