Professional trail maintenance crews - northern region state park service - construction

The New Jersey Department of Transportation received a Formula Grant award of $103,336.83 from the Federal Highway Administration under the Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219), effective September 10, 2025, with a completion date of December 1, 2028. This award supports the establishment and operation of professional trail maintenance crews in New Jersey's Northern Region State Park Service, specifically serving Passaic, Morris, Sussex, and Warren counties. The funding enables the development of maintenance infrastructure and staffing necessary to sustain recreational trail systems across the designated geographic area.

Under the Recreational Trails Program, eligible uses for this funding include maintenance and restoration of existing trails, development of trailside and trailhead facilities, and acquisition of trail maintenance equipment. The professional trail maintenance crews will deliver ongoing trail upkeep and infrastructure improvements to support both motorized and non-motorized recreational trail users throughout the Northern Region, enhancing recreational access and trail safety while supporting environmental stewardship across the four-county service area.
