Governor Phil Murphy, Lieutenant Governor Oliver, and DOT Commissioner Gutierrez-Scaccetti today announced that 95 percent of New Jersey municipalities will receive Municipal Aid grant awards, totaling $161.25 million. A total of 537 cities and towns across the state are receiving grants to advance road, bridge, safety, and quality-of-life improvements in an effort to continue the Department of Transportation’s Commitment to Communities’ efforts.

Last year I announced an initiative called “Commitment to Communities” that highlighted the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s pledge to ensure local governments succeeded in delivering transportation projects that improve safety and quality of life in our communities without unduly burdening local property taxpayers.
