Who We Are:
The South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization (SJTPO) is a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the southern New Jersey region. Formed in mid-1993, the SJTPO replaced three smaller, existing MPOs while incorporating other areas not previously served. Covering Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem counties, the SJTPO works to provide a regional approach to solving transportation problems.
Transportation planning and decison-making for urbanized areas is carried out through MPOs. Traditionally, MPOs synchronize the planning actions of participating agencies in the region and provide a forum for decision-making among officials, operators, and the public.

Shore Connection Committee:

The Shore Connection Committee (SCC) was established as a forum of vested state and local parties to evaluate the Route 55/47 Corridor, come to agreement on the problems in the corridor, and come to an agreement on a solution or range of solutions that could advance in the project development process. The New Jersey Department of Transportation supported the SCC by working with the committee to examine options and by providing consultant assistance to evaluate the options and facilitate the SCC's meetings.
