Two New Jersey DOT Projects Earn Regional Recognition in AASHTO’s 2021 America's Transportation Awards

TRENTON, NJ — The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) announces that two NJDOT projects have been named regional winners in the 2021 America’s Transportation Awards Competition. NJDOT received awards for two small category projects: Route 1 Permanent Hard Shoulder Running Project (Operations Excellence category) and Transportation Asset Management System (Best Use of Technology and Innovation).
Route 1 Permanent Hard Shoulder Running Project in South Brunswick
The $2.9-million Route 1 Permanent Hard Shoulder Running Project improved motorist safety, improved emergency access for first responders, increased capacity and travel reliability, and cut commute times by up to 50 percent. NJDOT implemented a hard shoulder running strategy, which uses the shoulder as a travel lane during peak periods. This allowed for three travel lanes instead of two by using 14 overhead lane-use signals and four dynamic message signs. The project also installed 28 cameras to monitor those shoulder lanes.
Transportation Asset Management System
NJDOT is managing its resources as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible with its new Transportation Asset Management System (TAMS). It allows the department to ensure greater safety for the public by responding to problems more quickly and efficiently, saving time and money. NJDOT can also provide better information to its partners like contractors, municipal officials, and police.

TAMS provides an enterprise-level, map-based work and asset management system including a seamless workflow from reporting problems to dispatch, repair, and management reporting. Field crews receive assignments, document their work, and identify potential insurance claims on mobile phones using GPS and photos. Comprehensive, real-time dashboards provide insight into maintenance operations, costs, and inventory.
