The Federal Highway Administration awarded the New Jersey Department of Transportation $473,579.27 under the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (CFDA 20.287) on December 29, 2025, to fund preliminary engineering for pedestrian safety and connectivity improvements at the Copeland Middle School and Stony Brook Elementary School complex in Rockaway Township, Morris County, New Jersey. The work encompasses safety improvements across multiple milepost locations: West Lake Shore Drive (MP 1.75), Sanders/Hibernia Road (MP 1.45), and Seneca Avenue (MP 0.40). Performance extends through December 1, 2029, with all work performed in New Jersey. NJDOT, a state transportation agency, receives this award as a formula-based allocation under the STBG program, which provides flexible funding for states and localities to preserve and improve conditions and performance on federal-aid highways and bridge and tunnel projects.
