Projects Planned for Bergen County
The NJTPA Study and Development Program (S&D) evaluates the need for projects and develops alternative conceptual designs and routes. The program contains a variety of work, from technical studies focusing on highly specific, localized issues to major corridor studies that cover large stretches of our regional transportation system. Projects are scored and ranked during development of the S&D. When projects have passed through the program, they are generally eligible for funding through the TIP. See the Study and Development Program.
Local Safety Program
This program provides funds for quick fix, high impact safety improvements on county and local roads. The progrm focuses on vehicular and pedestrian improvements of critical need that can be completed within a short period time. Priority is given to projects that address locations identified as NJTPA safety priorities, NJDOT priorities, or are well supported by crash data.

GIS DATASETS - BERGEN COUNTY
The NJTPA regional databank is a digital repository for all transportation and related data, stored and maintained on the NJTPA’s computer network. The regional databank assists staff, agency partners and subregions in planning initiatives by providing accurate, accessible transportation and related datasets necessary for informed analysis, decision-making and reporting.
Datasets are made available to partner agencies, subregions and the general public via posting on the Internet. This section contains subregion-specific data that is maintained in a geographic information system (GIS). Included are ArcGIS shapefile layers for land use/land cover (LULC), parks (two different shapefiles), water bodies (lakes and streams) and Highlands land use capability map zones. Additional data needs can be met by going to Data & Maps section of the NJTPA website or fulfillment of individual data requests.
