SRTS Infastructure Program
NJDOT offers local governments and schools a grant program for the planning and implementation of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure projects near schools. This is a highly competitive program and communities who participate in non-infrastructure programs and activities, such as SRTS Travel Plans, School Wellness programs and school walk/bike activities may receive extra points on their grant applications.
If your community would like to participate in the SRTS program or obtain more information, please call 856-596-8228 or contact:
