                                                                                    RE: NJ DOT Funding Opportunity

Dear Mayor:

You should soon be receiving a letter from New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner Steven Dilts, inviting you to apply for Transportation Enhancement Program grants, which are being funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). 

Through this program, NJDOT will provide $19.5 million in funding for non-traditional transportation projects that enhance the cultural, aesthetic, historic, and environmental aspects of the State’s transportation system.

For further information on the program and the application process, pending the Commissioner’s letter to you, visit the Department’s website at http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/about/press/2009/040809.shtm 

                                                                                    Very truly yours,

                                                                                    William G. Dressel, Jr.
                                                                                    Executive Director
