These competitive programs occur on an annual basis, giving the NJTPA county and city subregions the opportunity to apply for federal funding to advance locally significant projects. Staff from both the NJTPA and NJDOT provide technical assistance and guidance for projects funded in these two programs.
The Local Scoping program provides federal funds to subregions to advance proposed projects through preliminary engineering and federal environmental reviews. There was no solicitation of the Local Scoping Program for FY 2010.
The Local Lead program provides funding to advance projects through final design, right-of-way and construction. For FY 2010, approximately $71 million in funding will be allocated for graduates of the Local Scoping Program as well as fund other local program initiatives.
