Capital Program Documents
The New Jersey Department of Transportation allocates funds to projects and programs through two main capital program documents: the Transportation
Capital Program and the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program.
The Transportation Capital Program is a document required by State law. This program allocates State and federal transportation funding for the
period of one state fiscal year (July 1 through June 30) for both the New Jersey Department of Transportation and the New Jersey Transit Corporation.
It also includes funds that are allocated to counties and municipalities. The current document is the
Transportation Capital Program for Fiscal Year 2013, which began July 1, 2012.
A companion document, the Statewide Capital Investment Strategy for Fiscal Years 2013 - 2022, lays out
capital investment goals for, New Jersey Department of Transportation, New Jersey Transit, Turnpike Authority, and South Jersey Transportation
Authority. While the Capital Program details the projects to be funded during the next fiscal year, the Capital Investment Strategy discusses the
goals and longer-term strategy behind those project choices.
The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is required by federal law. Although a four-year constrained plan is required by federal law,
the New Jersey Department of Transportation and New Jersey Transit are allocating funding over a ten-year period and constraining the plan to what are
reasonable revenue expectations. Like the Transportation Capital Program, the STIP includes both State and federal funding and includes projects and
programs of the New Jersey Department of Transportation, New Jersey Transit, and the counties and municipalities. The STIP is compiled from three
regional Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs), which are developed in conjunction with New Jersey's three metropolitan planning organizations
(MPO). Each MPO has extensive public involvement activities in preparation for the TIP. The current document is the
Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for the State of New Jersey for Fiscal Years 2012
through 2021.
The FY 2012-2021 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is an expansion of the FY
2012 Capital Program that was approved by the State Legislature and Governor before July 1, 2011. The STIP is subject to a 30 day public comment
period and final negotiations with the three Metropolitan Planning Organizations, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Federal Transit
Administration. The STIP public comment period runs concurrently with each MPO TIP public comment period. Comments can be submitted through the MPO
links listed below. All negotiated changes become part of the final federally-approved STIP document effective on October 1, 2011.
To view modifications and amendments to the STIP, NJDOT has launched the
Electronic Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (e-STIP). This system allows any
user to view all approved changes to the STIP since initial approval by FHWA and FTA.
New Jersey's three MPOs are:
NJTPA - North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (for Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Monmouth, Morris, Middlesex, Ocean, Passaic,
Somerset, Sussex, Union, and Warren counties). View NJTPA TIP.
DVRPC - Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (for Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties).
