Bruno Associates Secures $366,415 for Guttenberg Transportation Program

Funded through North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA)

Bruno Associates assisted the Town of Guttenberg in securing a grant for $366,415 from the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority.  The grant program, the Congestion Manage Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) Local Mobility Initiatives Program, will provide the town with the three-year grant including operational support to expand the local transportation program and serve the entire community.  With these funds, the town will be creating an entirely new shuttle service for all residents, connecting residents to shopping, employment, recreation, and transportation hubs – notably Bergenline Avenue, the New York Waterway free shuttle to the Port Imperial Ferry Terminal and the new Riverfront Park.
