Draft RTP 2050: Moving South Jersey Forward

For the region to receive federal funding, there must be a long-range regional transportation plan in place. The long-range plan details the ways the region aims to invest in the transportation system. It identifies the region’s long term needs and the policies, strategies, and projects that will address those needs. The next long-range plan, RTP 2050, will guide how over $5 billion in federal transportation funds will be spent in the region over the next 30 years.
