Murphy Administration Announces $150 Million to FY25 Infrastructure Improvements

The Murphy Administration announced the release of $150 million in Fiscal Year 2025 County Aid to help make infrastructure improvements on the local level. The program is funded through the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund (TTF). 

“The New Jersey Department of Transportation is committed to finding solutions for localized transportation concerns by investing in county-owned bridges and roadways, which reduces the tax burden on residents,” NJDOT Commissioner Fran O’Connor said. “The millions of dollars in County Aid is just one way the Department is advancing Governor Murphy’s vision of a safe, equitable, and sustainable transportation system for all New Jerseyans.” 

The State’s 21 counties will share $150 million through the County Aid program, which helps maintain roads and bridges under county jurisdiction in good repair for the thousands of motorists who count on them every day. In addition, the fiscal year 2025 marks the first reservation, a type of improvement eligible for the county a year pavement pid. 

County Aid funds are apportioned based on population and road mileage in each county, and each county selects the projects that receive funding. Counties must submit eligible projects identified in the County’s annual program to NJDOT for approval before Transportation on December 1, 2024. 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.
