SR 27 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges United States Congress to dedicate additional federal funds for highway maintenance and infrastructure improvements in New Jersey.

SR 27 is a New Jersey Senate resolution urging the U.S. Congress to allocate additional federal funds for highway maintenance and infrastructure improvements in New Jersey. It does not create new law but formally requests increased federal investment, citing concerns about road conditions (37% in poor condition per 2016 TRIP data), high costs to drivers ($3.9 billion annually in repairs), and safety risks (one-third of traffic deaths linked to road quality). The resolution emphasizes that New Jersey spends more per mile on road maintenance than any other state yet still ranks poorly in infrastructure quality. It will be sent to congressional leaders and New Jersey’s U.S. representatives.
