Transportation Capital Program
Fiscal Year 2013
Introduction
The Transportation Capital Program for FY 2013 describes the planned capital expenditures and revenue sources supporting those investments for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2012. It represents the annual element of the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s and NJ Transit’s ten-year Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). A companion document, the Statewide Capital Investment Strategy, Fiscal Years 2013-2022, outlines transportation investment categories and recommended annual investment levels based on revenue assumptions.
This capital program reflects the need to prioritize spending in a difficult economic environment while carefully evaluating transportation needs and targeting limited resources toward safety, fix-it-first and state-of-good-repair initiatives.
