Complete Streets Technical Assistance Program

Technical Assistance

Available only to municipalities and counties in the SJTPO region

Municipalities receive free services through the Complete Streets Technical Assistance Program for a specific project to advance Complete Streets in their communities, including direct technical assistance up to $15,000. No direct funding is provided, resulting in no federal grant management responsibilities.

Each round, municipalities will be selected by a project selection committee through a competitive process based on objective criteria. Applicants can apply for one project type, selected based on the service that best meets their local needs.

Technical Assistance may include:

1. Complete and Green Streets for All Guidance: To develop or update a Complete Streets Policy to align with the 2020 NJDOT Complete and Green Streets for All Policy.
2. Bicycle Network Plan: To help identify specific routes and road treatments to improve bicycling infrastructure, as well as consider safety for pedestrians and micromobility users.
3. Complete Streets Community Workshop Walk Audit: To conduct a workshop and audit of up to a half mile of street to identify potential pedestrian and bicycle improvements.
4. Temporary Demonstration Project: Use of temporary materials to pilot street improvements and access real-word impacts before making permanent changes. This option can be selected as a standalone alternative or as an option as an add-on to the other types of assistance.

Pilot Program

In FY 2025-2026, three municipalities were selected to receive technical assistance:

Buena Borough, Atlantic County, received assistance to update its Complete and Green Streets for All Policy. The final report provides insights into the policy planning process and provides several recommendations for promoting Complete Streets in the Borough of Buena.

Egg Harbor City, Atlantic County, received guidance in updating its Complete and Green Streets for All Policy for a focus on review of redevelopment projects. Egg Harbor City ultimately adopted Resolution No. 567-2026, establishing and adopting a Complete and Green Streets Policy. A final report was prepared to detail the policy planning process and provide several recommendations for promoting Complete Streets in Egg Harbor City.

Pennsville Township, Salem County, sought support for the development of a Bicycle Network Plan to connect Riverview Beach Park and Fort Mott State Park. The project included a temporary demonstration project along Riviera Drive.

Demonstration Library

The Complete Streets Demonstration Library is available free of charge to support communities in southern New Jersey who want to undertake demonstration projects to explore a range of temporary street designs. Find out more >>>

The purpose of the Demonstration Library is to support and encourage greater use of the temporary demonstration project approach. Using a “Test, Engage, Evaluate” approach, communities can use temporary materials to pilot street improvements, involve the public in the process, and access real-word impacts before making permanent changes.

The library is open to New Jersey municipalities and counties in southern New Jersey, including Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem Counties.

Municipalities and counties from outside of this region will also be considered. However, priority consideration will be given to those within the SJTPO region.

Using temporary paint and plastic bollards, Riviera Drive in Pennsville Township, Salem County, was temporarily narrowed in the vicinity of the boat ramp by Dartmouth Road. Painted crosswalks will be added at two locations. Curb extensions reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians, narrow the roadway to reduce speeds, and improve sightlines by helping to enforce existing parking prohibitions near the intersection.
