The Planning Department oversees transportation planning for Warren County and collaborates with the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA), the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the NJ Highlands Council.

Below are links to various completed studies the County, including the 2021 Warren County Transportation Plan, which assesses the entire transportation system. Another study focused on US 22, examining the roadway from I-78 in Warren to the bridge to cross over the Delaware River into Pennsylvania.

Additionally, an older County transportation plan done in 1982 and a Transportation Technical Study from 2018, funded by NJTPA, are available via the link provided below. The Technical Study led into the current 2021 Transportation Plan Update.

The NJTPA not only funds many of these studies, but also serves as the federally authorized Metropolitan Planning Organization for the 13-county Northern New Jersey region. Annually, it oversees more than $2 billion in transportation improvement projects and facilitates interagency cooperation and public input, recognizing that planning issues extend beyond County lines.

Warren County Invites Community Input on Complete Streets and Road Safety

WHITE TWP., NJ – March 5, 2025 – How can Warren County roads be improved for people who walk or bike? What kinds of safety improvements would you like to see? Warren County is taking steps to create a safer, more connected transportation network for all road users with its Connect Warren County, a collaborative effort with the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA). In addition, the County is working with the NJTPA to create a Local Safety Action Plan (LSAP), which aims to identify and address roadway safety concerns to help reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries.

To share progress and gather feedback, Warren County and the NJTPA are inviting the public to a joint meeting on March 13, 2025, from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM at the Warren County Library – Southwest Branch, located at 404 Route 519, Phillipsburg, NJ. This meeting will present draft recommendations for both plans and provide an opportunity for community members to offer their input on how to create a safe and complete transportation network for everyone.

Complete Streets is a planning approach that prioritizes the needs of all travelers, including drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and those making deliveries. The Connect Warren County plan will focus on rural and small-town strategies and will provide guidance for adopting and implementing Complete Streets policies across the county. The final plan is set to be completed by June 30, 2025.

Local Safety Action Plans (LSAPs) are designed to help local governments identify and prioritize safety improvements to reduce fatal and serious crashes. The goal of these plans is to eliminate traffic-related fatalities and injuries. Public input is crucial to developing effective solutions that meet local needs. The LSAP for Warren County will also be finalized by June 30, 2025.

Both projects are funded in part by the NJTPA, the federally authorized Metropolitan Planning Organization for the 13-county northern New Jersey region. Each year, they oversee over $2 billion in transportation improvement projects and provide a forum for interagency cooperation and public input. The Connect Warren County project is led by the Warren County Planning Department, with support from consultants NV5, MBO Engineering, and Heyer, Gruel & Associates. The LSAP plan is being led by the NJTPA, with support from Jacob’s Engineering and FHI Studios.
