This New Jersey Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Information Hub is here to help you!
Our goal is to make grant information and deadlines visible and digestible to municipalities, counties, departments, and stakeholders in terms of the once-in-a-generation discretionary (competitive) funding opportunities that are available under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. IIJA discretionary funding supports many programs that have the ability to move New Jersey forward.

IIJA Office’s Goals/Objectives
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) (P.L 117-58), at its core is a surface transportation reauthorization bill. Every five years, Congress provides state departments of transportation with a new reauthorization bill to maintain surface transportation assets across the nation. BIL was notable as a large increase to existing programs that also created new programs, including the largest-ever federal investment in broadband, lead service line replacement, and electric vehicle charging.
