“Providing state funding to county governments so they can keep their transportation infrastructure in a state of good repair is of the highest importance,” Gutierrez-Scaccetti said. “County Aid provides millions of dollars to help improve roads and bridges without burdening local property taxpayers.”
The state’s 21 counties will share a total of $161.25 million through the County Aid program that helps maintain roads and bridges under county jurisdiction in a state of good repair for the thousands of motorists that count on them each day.
County Aid funds are apportioned based on population and road mileage in each county, and each county selects the projects that receive funding. Counties are required to submit eligible projects, identified in the county’s annual Transportation Program to NJDOT for approval prior to December 1, 2021.
Projects may be improvements to public roads and bridges under county jurisdiction, or other transportation related work. Governor Murphy signed into law a new schedule for County Aid in which NJDOT must inform counties of their allotments for the current fiscal year by July 31 to help counties better plan future projects.
