The NJTPA works with a host of agencies around the state in promoting
improved mobility, environment protection and other goals. Among the mobility
programs it supports and helps coordinate are:
- Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan (CHSTP)--Human services transportation primarily refers to transportation for three groups of people who are sometimes identified as “transportation disadvantaged”: seniors, people with disabilities, and low income commuters. The plan also focuses on rural travelers who also face transportation challenges in the NJTPA region.
- Job Access Reverse Commute (JARC), a grant program assists localities to
develop new or expanded services that connect welfare recipients and other low
income persons to jobs and other employment related services;
- Transportation Management Associations (TMAs), non-profit, member-controlled
organizations established to work with employers and governments to help provide
more effective and efficient commuting and other transportation options in suburban
environments; and
- Alternative Fuels, promoting the use of biodiesal, natural gas, ethanol and
other fuels that will help reduce air pollution and improve energy efficiency.
