FUNDING FOR TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE, SPONSORED BY ASW. GARNET HALL, SIGNED INTO LAW.
Assemblywoman Garnet Hall sponsored the reauthorization of New Jersey’s Transportation Trust Fund Authority Act, which was signed into law by Governor Murphy this week. Asw. Hall represents NJ District 28 in the New Jersey Assembly, which includes Maplewood, and is also a Maplewood Democratic Committee District Leader for District 11.
Assemblywoman Hall hailed the refunding of TTF as the fulfillment of an obligation to the people of New Jersey. “We have a responsibility to the residents of New Jersey to make sure our roads, bridges and tunnels are structurally sound. Reauthorizing the TTF will enable us to fund projects that uphold that important commitment, while creating thousands of new jobs.”
Maplewood Mayor, Nancy Adams, added the town’s perspective of Assemblywoman Hall’s work in the legislature, “It’s vitally important to fund the transportation trust fund, so that the state, counties and our local municipalities can have a steady funding source for our roads and infrastructure. Between stormwater management and road repairs and paving, we can’t continue to fund most of it with our already high property taxes without help from the TTF. It’s just not feasible.”
