Project Overview
Warren County is conducting this study with funding from the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority’s Subregional Studies Program. It will update the Warren County Transportation Plan, adopted in 1982, to address a shift in subregional and regional transportation needs. The updated Warren County Transportation Plan will define a comprehensive program of recommendations and include implementation phases to address multimodal transportation needs, overcome existing constraints and deficiencies, and leverage opportunities across a broad range of projects, policies, and strategies.
Goals
The plan is guided by overarching goals with supporting objectives – originally within the 1982 Transportation Plan and refined by the Warren County Transportation Plan Update Steering Advisory Committee - to address the need for improvements to transportation within Warren County. The goals are:
Provide transportation infrastructure that is consistent with Warren County's rural character
Focus growth and infrastructure in existing centers
Minimize and mitigate environmental and stormwater impacts of transportation infrastructure
Maintain and improve the existing transportation system
Provide multimodal transportation choices that improve safety, mobility, and equity
Improve the resiliency of Warren County’s transportation infrastructure
Improve access to education and employment opportunities
Promote cooperation and participation to advance mutual interests
Encourage state enabling legislation to provide municipalities and counties more authority over the impacts of traffic impacting their roadways from new development
Monitor and incorporate technological trends and innovations in transportation projects and strategies
