The governor’s office has announced $150 million in 2025 municipal aid grants for 540 cities and towns across the state to advance road, bridge, safety, and quality-of-life improvements.
The competitive grant program attracted 595 applications from all 540 municipalities, for a total of $375 million requested. Project applications were evaluated and rated on their merits by NJDOT (New Jersey Deparment of Transportation) staff and reviewed by an independent panel of state engineers.
Each town that applied for funding got a grant, for a total outlay of $150 million, according to a NJDOT press release. More than 41% of the funding – $61.9 million – will go to 176 municipalities. Another $22.2 million is being awarded to 56 communities where projects will benefit low-income and minority populations.
NJDOT also encouraged municipalities to use some of the grant money to fund projects that support safety, walking and biking in their communities.
