Transportation
Planning
The
Transportation Planning Section studies the interaction of transportation
and land use issues affecting Monmouth County. The section compiles data,
conducts studies to analyze the use and performance of highway and transit
systems, facilitates public outreach and coordination on selected transportation
issues, and maintains a close working relationship with local, state,
and regional transportation planners and agencies.
SECTION RESPONSIBILITIES
The Transportation Section is responsible for managing and conducting
a federally sponsored regional transportation planning grant program for
Monmouth County each year. This grant ensures that a continuing, comprehensive
and coordinated transportation planning program is available for Monmouth
County to support regional planning and capital project funding decisions
made for all of Northern New Jersey.
Specific work includes:
- Developing
plans or strategies to reduce traffic congestion on county and regional
roadway corridors, design and support for implementation of improved
public transportation services, and consideration of the balance between
vehicle, transit, bicycle, pedestrian transportation needs with community
quality of life issues.
- Developing partnerships
with local, county and state agencies on a variety of projects ranging
from smart-growth planning initiatives to traffic reduction and engineering
project design task forces, and provides technical guidance and support
to local officials.
- Conducting a major research
study each year on a critical transportation issue or need, often with
local origins and regional implications.
Maintaining a close coordination with other Monmouth County Planning
Board Sections to incorporate development review, long range planning,
demographic and environmental issues, and with county engineering divisions
regarding traffic safety and project design matters as they relate to
transportation in Monmouth County.
- Providing technical support
to the Monmouth County
Transportation Council (MCTC), a 12-member citizens advisory committee
to the Monmouth County Planning Board on transportation issues.
