Millville Awarded Federal Grant Funds for Millyard Riverfront Walk
The South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization (SJTPO) in partnership with the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is pleased to announce the award of a $900,000 federal grant under the Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TA Set-Aside) Program. The federal grant awarded to Millville will fund the Millyard Riverfront Walk with the intention of improving and expanding pedestrian and bicycle trails in Cumberland County.
The TA Set-Aside Program is a competitive program funded through the Federal Highway Administration’s Federal Aid Program and is administered by NJDOT in partnership with New Jersey’s three Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) – SJTPO, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC), and the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA). The TA Set-Aside Program provides funds for community-based “non- traditional” projects designed to strengthen the cultural, aesthetic, and environmental aspects of the intermodal transportation system such as the constructing of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, the creation of safe routes to school, and the preserving of historic transportation structures.
