The Local Aid Resource Center is a centralized source of information and your connection to a team of experts ready to guide you through the grant application process, assist you with project selection, or provide guidance for other technical needs.

The Resource Center is a statewide effort designed to serve the needs of the 21 counties and 564 local governments throughout New Jersey. The center will fulfill the vision of Commissioner Gutierrez-Scaccetti to assist the local government community by guiding grant applications and the project delivery process while enhancing collaboration with the common goal of a connected and efficient transportation network.

Since the launch of the Commissioner’s Commitment to Communities initiative, the NJDOT has been building a team of experts and a place where our local government community can easily find the information, tools, and resources they will need for success.

The Resource Center team is available to assist your community with project planning, project delivery, communications, grant applications, guidance through the federal process, and much more. Our dedicated hotline provides prompt responses to your questions and concerns. Please follow us on social media (links on this page) for information sharing that promotes your successes and best practices.

The Local Aid Resource Center’s mission is to assist local public agencies in advancing focused investments to produce successful projects. The Resource Center team seeks to collaborate with county and municipal representatives to enhance New Jersey’s local transportation infrastructure. This commitment will strive to create a seamless transportation system where we work, live, and play to improve the quality of life for New Jersey’s residents and the traveling public.
