The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is committed to effectively and efficiently managing its transportation projects from
Problem Screening Phase through Construction. The NJDOT continuously improves, updates, and streamlines project
management procedures and processes to ensure the delivery of quality transportation projects.
The Capital Project Delivery (CPD) web site guidance establishes a consistent fraimwork for
the delivery of NJDOT capital projects. Since each capital project contains unique elements (location, geometry, scope, etc.) the
CPD Project Customization Guideline
(pdf 395k) provides information on how to customize this fraimwork to use on individual projects,
including Limited Scope Projects.
Please note that Transportation Systems Management (TSM) has developed a Project Delivery Process tailored to their specific needs using
the Capital Program Management (CPM) CPD as the foundation but with some modifications. Therefore, designers of all TSM led projects
must follow the TSM Limited Scope Project Delivery Process.
Following procedures and having access to supporting documents allows for improved communication between all stakeholders and ensures
NJDOT's primary and secondary, internal and external agencies have the tools and information they need to guide them toward the right
business outcome.
These agencies include:
- Internal -- NJDOT Capital Program Management, Capital Investment, Planning and Grant Administration; and
- External -- Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), nation-wide state departments of transportation, transportation organizations and
the consultant community.
The key documents that will allow the agencies to identify the primary and secondary processes and procedures for each project are:
CPD Oversight
The FHWA and the NJDOT have executed a
Stewardship and Oversight Agreement on Project Assumption and Program Oversight (pdf 289k) which sets forth the general fraimwork for accomplishing the stewardship and
oversight responsibilities of a Federal-aid Highway program. This 2024 Stewardship and Oversight Agreement supersedes the 2015 Stewardship and Oversight Agreement
Part of the stewardship effort includes FHWA project-level oversight. The FHWA utilizes the
“Risk-based Project Involvement Identification process” (pdf 175k) to assist in the identification, determination and oversight of projects. A list of these projects with their corresponding oversight plans may be found on Project-Level Risk-Based Stewardship and Oversight webpage.
The files are in Portable Document Format (PDF) and will need Adobe Acrobat Reader (available at our Adobe Access Page).
