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
