Public art installations, community vision plans, visitors' guides, virtual walking tours, and engagement plans; these are just a few examples of successful past projects completed through the Vibrant Places Program. The North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) is now accepting new applications! This program provides technical support for a variety of creative placemaking efforts that enable future place-based investments in step with other local economic development initiatives.
Eligible applicants range from municipal and county governments to non-profit, community-based, or non-governmental organizations in the 13-county NJTPA
region. Special consideration is given to collaborations between municipalities, counties, and non-governmental organizations.
Vibrant Places projects may be chosen to receive technical assistance services in the form of staff time from
The Voorhees Transportation Center (VTC) at Rutgers University and other subject-matter experts. Projects should be manageable in scale since they must be completed within three to five months. All projects must conclude by June 1, 2025.
For additional information, including instructions on submitting a Letter of Interest and program project examples/ideas, visit the
