The NJTPA has developed a number of tools and applications that support its core mission. They include innovative uses of geographical information systems (GIS), mobile technology, transportation models, data visualizations and more. These tools support NJTPA planning activities and the work of partners, including analysis, outreach and visioning that shapes the NJTPA Regional Transportation Plan.

| NJTPA Demographics Resources & Analysis Tool | The NJTPA has created a Demographics Resources website to provide data and guidance to staff, subregions and partners to ensure federally-funded planning activities adhere to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. The website includes a Demographics Analysis Tool, which displays the spatial distribution of populations who have been identified as protected under federal regulations. |
| NJTPA Subregional Profiles | The NJTPA has revamped the original County Profile App to utilize Esri’s latest platform, ArcGIS Hub. The new site provides an overview of the NJTPA region, as well as demographic data and background for each of the subregions. Links are also available on each of the subregional pages to allow users to go directly to the county or city’s website. Go to Website |
| Active Transportation Plan Data Viewer | The NJTPA completed its regional Active Transportation Plan (ATP) in 2023 to provide a blueprint for creating a safe, comfortable, and connected network for walking and biking across the region. To support the ATP’s implementation, this interactive mapping tool was developed to share data and information from the study, and to help local implementers identify active transportation projects that align with the recommended regional network.

| Strategic Highway Safety Plan Data Viewer | This tool combines data from other sources in a map format that aids in crash analysis and project development for all three MPO regions in New Jersey. Data includes fatal and serious injury crashes, high-crash locations and corridors, Federal Highway Administration – Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funded projects and Road Safety Audits. Click on the link to open the data viewer and the user guide for instructions. The user guide is available here. Go to Data Viewer |
| Pedestrian and Vehicle Traffic Counts Viewer | This viewer serves as a compendium of traffic counts collected by the NJTPA. The count data includes counts collected during NJTPA projects and any counts subregional partners have shared with the NJTPA. The database was produced as a recommendation from the Pedestrian Counts Project completed in June 2022. Go to Data Viewer |
| DRAFT Regional Capital Investment Strategy (RCIS) | The Regional Capital Investment Strategy (RCIS) approaches the region’s environmental, economic, and social goals by guiding transportation spending in a balanced, realistic approach. Those goals underpin long range planning, project development, and the programming of over $3 billion each year in capital transportation investments. Explore the interrelated elements of the RCIS in this website to learn more about how it helps guide the region’s transportation investments. Go to Website |
| Regional Performance Measures Dashboard | The NJTPA’s regional performance measures (RPM) address important goals and issues for Northern New Jersey, and complement and broaden the array of required national measures and targets. The RPMs foster a more complete picture of the performance of the region’s transportation system and help support investment decision making. The regional performance measures have been grouped into eight topic areas. Two additional topic areas include measures that are not as directly linked to transportation. In addition to the interactive RPM dashboard, a static scorecard and fact sheets on each topic area are available, as are modal summaries that highlight performance measures specific to roadways and public transit.
