It coordinates transportation planning and oversight of a broad program of projects, while providing a forum for interagency cooperation and public input into funding decisions. Headquartered in Newark, New Jersey, the NJTPA collaborates with state and local transportation agencies, county planning offices, and other stakeholders to sponsor studies, assist planning efforts, and monitor compliance with national air quality goals. The organization operates within the government administration sector as a regional planning authority with a mid-sized staff. A notable recent development is the appointment of Stephen H.
