Federal Programs

We’re here to help

These programs encourage investment in those transportation projects that will yield the greatest mobility, have the least environmental impact, and make the most cost-effective use of available resources. Some federal programs are for Urbanized Areas or the National Highway System. For more information, visit the New Jersey Urbanized Areas Map.
