NJDOT Announces New Division of Transportation Permitting

New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Commissioner Priya Jain today announced the creation of the Division of Transportation Permitting as part of Governor Mikie Sherrill’s Save Your Time & Money agenda.

The new division aligns with Executive Order 5 (EO-5) to simplify and modernize the State’s regulatory processes to save time and money, and improve affordability, accountability, and transparency. Earlier this year, NJDOT completed a comprehensive review of Departmental permits and approvals to identify outdated or duplicative requirements, which helped inform the reforms required under EO-5. 

The new NJDOT Division of Transportation Permitting follows other Department changes that went into effect this summer to streamline the permitting process. On August 1, NJDOT’s Major Access Permits (MAP) process and Outdoor Advertising Permitting process became fully electronic.
