FY99 Local Aid program. The highly developed transportation system that we have in New Jersey begins right at home.
Local roads are the core of the state's roadway network.
The Local Aid program funds the basic resurfacing and reconstruction projects. This type of work also keeps the economy strong by generating the greatest numbers of construction and related jobs. Municipal aid funding is based on a formula that takes into account population and road mileage. In addition, municipal projects are selected for funding on a competitive basis by a panel of engineers who evaluate the condition of a roadway, the amount of traffic it carries and the role the road plays in the surrounding transportation network. A list of those municipal projects receiving aid is attached and sorted by county.
