The FFY 2026 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for New Jersey covers the four years of FFY26-FFY29 and represents the region’s federally funded transportation improvement priorities.
The DVRPC Board voted to adopt the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2026 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for New Jersey at its September meeting. The FFY 2026 TIP for New Jersey covers the four years of FFY26-FFY29 and represents the region’s federally funded transportation improvement priorities.
The FFY2026 TIP for New Jersey contains 155 projects, totaling over $2.299 billion for the phases to be advanced over the next four years. Programmed funds include $1.299 billion for 98 multimodal projects in the DVRPC regional Highway Program. Additionally, there are 57 projects in the DVRPC regional Transit Program including 37 for NJ Transit ($886 million) and 20 for PATCO ($114 million), totaling nearly $1 billion. For information purposes only, the TIP lists 108 NJDOT-managed statewide highway programs for the State of New Jersey that are worth $5.3 billion (primarily state-funded) over the first four years.
A public comment period was held from July 18 to August 20, 2025. Documents were posted online, made available in public libraries, and distributed to tribal nations. DVRPC held two public meetings, one in person at Mullica Hill Library in New Jersey and one in person at DVRPC’s office that included an option to attend online. DVRPC received 199 written comments on behalf of advocacy groups and the general public.
Following Board adoption, DVRPC staff will submit the document to the New Jersey Department of Transportation for approval and inclusion in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which will then be submitted to FHWA and FTA for review and approval. Once the federal partners formally approve the NJDOT FY2026 STIP, the new DVRPC TIP and the NJDOT STIP will become effective, replacing the DVRPC FFY 2024 TIP and NJDOT FFY 2024 STIP. The final TIP document will be posted online later this fall.
