Applications opened today for the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority Complete Streets Technical Assistance Program. The program supports municipalities by providing them with the knowledge, skills, and resources to create safe, accessible, and welcoming streets – whether you’re walking, biking, or driving.
Applications are due November 7, 2025. An informational webinar and Q&A about this program will be held October 8, 2025 at 1 p.m. Join the webinar to see examples of past projects and how to apply. Register here: https://bit.ly/NJTPA_CSTA_Webinar
Complete Streets balance the needs of drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, emergency responders, goods movement, and stormwater management based on the local context. Technical assistance is provided through a partnership with Sustainable Jersey and the Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University.
Municipalities in the 13-county NJTPA region can apply to receive free technical assistance for one of the following project types:
- Bicycle Corridor or Network Plan: To identify specific routes and road treatments to improve bicycling access, comfort and safety.
- Corridor/Neighborhood Complete Street Assessment: To assess Complete Streets needs and opportunities for a corridor or neighborhood through a community workshop and field audit.
Some projects may include conceptual renderings or temporary demonstration projects to illustrate potential roadway improvements.
Four rounds of applications have led to 29 municipal projects from Bergen to Ocean Counties. Projects have ranged from temporary demonstration projects and conceptual renderings to bicycle and network plans and creating Complete Streets policies.
