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.
- Local CMAQ Mobility Initiatives - Shared Ride Program -The NJTPA has established the CMAQ Local Mobility Initiatives Program to promote a variety of initiatives to lessen the level of pollutants and greenhouse gases generated through the use of fossil fuels including ridesharing, transit usage, travel demand management and traffic mitigation projects. Proposals must implement strategies and policies in the Regional Transportation Plan, Plan 2035.
