Sayreville Waterfront project included in NJTPA TIP; FTA grant pursuit ongoing
Summary
The agency received confirmation the Sayreville Waterfront Multimodal Transportation Improvement Project was added to the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority’s 2024 Transportation Improvement Program; staff said the FTA grant application continues but federal funding changes could affect final outcomes.
Sarah, the agency executive director, reported that the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) has formally included the Sayreville Waterfront Multimodal Transportation Improvement Project in the 2024 Transportation Improvement Program.
Sarah told commissioners the inclusion is required for the agency’s Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant application. She said the agency has received a resolution confirmation from the NJTPA and that staff are now supplying additional grant information requested by federal reviewers, including a grant number.
The nut graf: Inclusion in the NJTPA TIP is a step required for eligibility for certain federal transportation funds; Sarah warned that changes at the federal level could still affect whether the grant is awarded.
Sarah said the agency is moving forward with preparatory work while acknowledging federal funding rules are in flux. She told commissioners she had received an email the same afternoon requesting a grant number and other documentation. Staff said they will continue to pursue the FTA grant but cautioned that “with everything happening federally” the award is not guaranteed.
Ending: Staff will continue to respond to NJTPA and federal requests for information and report updates to commissioners; no final grant award was reported at the meeting.
