Bucco Highlights $1.6 Million in Transportation Grants for Morris County

Senator Anthony M. Bucco announced today that $1.6 million will be allocated toward improving access to transit facilities and public transportation throughout Morris County.

“I am extremely pleased that over $1.6 million is being invested in Morris County to help rebuild our transit infrastructure. This funding is so important to New Jersey families,” said Bucco (R-25). “These grants represent a return on taxpayers’ investment and will help make the train stations and roadways of Netcong, Morristown, and Dover safer and more enjoyable for residents and commuters alike.”

The $1.68 million in grants are aimed at enhancing areas around transit facilities and public transportation throughout Morris County.

The grants are divided into three categories: Transit Villages, Safe Streets, and Bikeways. Netcong will receive $800,000 for improvements to Main Street through the Transit Village Program; Morristown will receive $86,000 for Phase II of their train station improvements throughout that same program; and Dover will receive $800,000 in Safe Streets funding for traffic signal improvements on Blackwell Street.
