Road bleak for New Jersey travel projects
As the funding picture goes for federal transportation programs, so will go New Jersey’s future plans to build roads, bridges and transit projects.
From experts’ opinions to a state Department of Transportation forecast, the funding picture looks bleak.
Transportation experts interviewed worry that states will receive less federal money, due to a deficit in the federal Highway Trust Fund and a push to cut federal spending to reduce the national debt. The flip side of that coin is an aging highway and transit infrastructure that is wearing out and in some cases, is overburdened. (Higgs, Gannett)
