Long Branch, NJ – Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) today announced that New Jersey will receive an estimated $154,483,918 in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The funding will provide more transportation options, ease congestion, and reduce carbon pollution across the state.
“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to deliver more funding for cleaner, more convenient transportation options in New Jersey,” said Pallone. “At a time when oil companies are ripping off New Jerseyans at the gas pump, this funding will help slash commute times, lower costs for working families, combat harmful carbon pollution and support good-paying jobs right here at home. I’m going to continue partnering with our state and local leaders to put these investments to work.”
The funding comes from the Federal Highway Administration’s Carbon Reduction Program, a new initiative established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The funding can be used to improve public transit services, bolster electric vehicle charging infrastructure, improve traffic flow, and construct pedestrian and bicycle trails.
