Ocean County is receiving over $13 million from the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) for help with infrastructure projects throughout the county.

The $13,135,227 million is part of a total of $165 million which was appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2027 state budget to help make infrastructure improvements on the local level.

The State’s 21 counties will share a total of $165 million through the County Aid program that helps maintain roads and bridges under county jurisdiction in a state of good repair for the thousands of motorists that count on them each day.

Ocean County received the second-most in the state, trailing only Bergen County.

This year’s County Aid allocation represents a $15 million increase over the previous fiscal year, made possible through the five-year renewal of the Transportation Trust Fund approved by state lawmakers in 2024. The additional funding is part of a broader effort to increase Local Aid investments for counties and municipalities.

County Aid funds are apportioned based on population and road mileage in each county, and each county selects the projects that receive funding.

Counties are required to submit eligible projects, identified in the County’s annual Transportation Program to NJDOT for approval prior to December 1, 2026. Projects may be improvements to public roads and bridges under county jurisdiction, or other transportation related work.
