NJDOT has adopted a new data model for their transportation network. This data model was designed using portions of the ESRI UNETRANS data model, and incorporates existing data with more recent spatial and roadway inventory data. These data will encompass the NJDOT statewide road network, as well as public roads that fall outside of the NJDOT's jurisdiction. Roads were digitized using 2002 New Jersey statewide orthophotos, which were produced at a scale of 1:2400 (1"=200') with a 1 foot pixel resolution. The orthophotos were captured during February-April 2002, and were ortho-rectified to a +/- 4.0 foot horizontal accuracy at a 95% confidence level. Roads were digitized to the visible center of a street, within a tolerance of +/- 3 feet and then attributed using data collected for the Maintenance Management Systems and Local Road Inventory projects (2002-2005), which are both NJDOT BTDS data collection projects. Only public roads were digitized and attributed. Roads were digitized as divided where there was a visible, physical median separating carriageways for a length of greater than 600 feet. In the secondary direction, along median separated segments of roadway in the south and westbound directions, the milepost values are opposite to those in the primary direction. Ramps were digitized when the gore-to-gore distance was greater than 25 feet. This dataset does not include address range attributes. The project began in November 2003, and was completed by May 31, 2005.

NJDOT has revised the New Jersey urban area based upon the 2010 U.S. Census urban area boundaries. The U.S. Census defines an Urban Area as any area with a population >= 2,500. Under the Urban Area definition, Urban Clusters contain a population of 2,500-49,999 and Urbanized Areas are >= 50,000. FHWA, however, has slightly different criteria for what defines an urban area. Under FHWA, an Urban Area is >= 5,000, with Small Urban Areas 5,000-49,999 and Urbanized Areas >= 50,000. NJDOT followed the FHWA urban area definitions for this urban area update. To perform this update, NJDOT first combined the 2000 NJDOT urban area with the 2010 US Census urban areas greater than 5,000 in population. Since census urban area boundaries are based upon census block boundaries, which can be irregular, NJDOT extended outward the urban area ("smoothed") to the nearest road, stream, political boundary, or manmade feature using the 2012 NJ orthophotos as a base map. Where there was no obvious boundary to smooth to, the census boundary was retained. NJDOT also expanded the urban area to include any densely developed areas not included in the 2000 NJDOT urban area or 2010 Census urban areas.The urban area update underwent a thorough public review and comment period. Representatives from NJDOT, all 21 counties, and the 3 metropolitan planning organizations (NJTPA, SJTPO, and DVRPC) met during various phases of the project to review the updated urban area. All comments were logged into an Urban Area Comment Tracking Form, and an official NJDOT response was provided for each comment.In 2017, minor revisions were made to the urban area based upon comments from FHWA. These revisions were limited in scope and consisted of the following: 1) Adjusted boundary breaks within the urban area so that each Census urban area was only within one NJDOT urban area. 2) Delineated the Poughkeepsie--Newburgh, Mystic Island, and Newton urban areas within the NJDOT urban area. 3) Removed the Belvidere, Milford, and Maurice River urban areas. 4) Merged Upper Greenwood Lake urban area with Poughkeepsie urban area; merged Laurel Lake urban area with Vineland urban area; and merged Woodstown urban area with Philadelphia urban area. 5) Added small portions of the Census urban area (previously omitted from the NJDOT urban area due to smoothing), to the NJDOT urban area to ensure all Census urban areas with a population > 5,000 within the official NJ state boundary were included.

NJDOT has revised the New Jersey urban area based upon the 2020 U.S. Census urban area boundaries. The U.S. Census defines an Urbanized Area as any area with a population >= 5,000. Under the 2020 Urban Area definition, Urban Clusters are no longer a classification. FHWA, however, has slightly different criteria for what defines an urban area. Under FHWA, an Urban Area is >= 5,000, with Small Urban Areas 5,000-49,999 and Urbanized Areas >= 50,000. NJDOT followed the FHWA urban area definitions for this urban area update. To perform this update, NJDOT used the 2020 US Census urban areas greater than 5,000 in population. Since census urban area boundaries are based upon census block boundaries, which can be irregular, NJDOT extended outward the urban area ("smoothed") to the nearest road, stream, political boundary, or manmade feature. When a roadway is used as the adjusted boundary, the following buffers will be applied to include the right of way of the roadway: 50’ from undivided roadway centerlines (single centerline) and 80’ from divided roadway centerlines (dual centerline). Where there was no obvious boundary to smooth to, the census boundary was retained. NJDOT also expanded the urban area to include any densely developed areas not included in the 2020 census urban areas. The urban area update underwent a thorough public review and comment period. Representatives from NJDOT and the 3 metropolitan planning organizations (NJTPA, SJTPO, and DVRPC) met during various phases of the project to review the updated urban area. All comments were logged into an Urban Area Comment Tracking Form, and an official NJDOT response was provided for each comment. Further revisions were made to the urban area based upon comments from FHWA. These revisions were limited in scope and consisted of the following: 1) Smoothed the urban boundary outward at water boundaries: 1000’ from corporate boundary / shoreline for coastal areas and 500’ from corporate boundary / shoreline for bay areas. 2) Utilize Census State Boundary for the state boundary except for coastal boundaries.

The spatial data set provides a guide to major transportation improvements planned in the State of New Jersey for roads and bridges. Line features and extensive attributes locate and characterize projects in the Statewide Transportation Infrastructure Program. The data are stored as a line feature class in an enterprise geodatabase and published as an ArcGIS Online Feature Layer. The Program includes plans for ten years, but the plan and this data set are valid only for two years.

New Jersey involves both freight and passenger travel, for local and long distance travel. NJDOT focuses on freight rail transportation and coordinates with the Class 1s, Regional and Short Line railroads. The Department coordinates with NJTRANSIT for the provision of statewide transportation and passenger rail service.

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) has a vital interest in preserving and improving the rail freight part of its transportation network. New Jersey has approximately 1,000 miles of rail freight lines serving customers large and small. Our state is served by short line regional and national railroads. Rail shipments allow cost effective movement of goods with less stress on the State's highway system as well as fewer emissions and less energy use.

NJDOT supports New Jersey's economic activity by providing a strong, multimodal transportation system that makes rail service available, safe and effective for as many businesses as possible.

This data contains a set of geodetic control stations maintained by the National Geodetic Survey. Each geodetic control station in this dataset has either a precise Latitude/Longitude used for horizontal control or a precise Orthometric Height used for vertical control, or both. The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) serves as the Nation's depository for geodetic data. The NGS distributes geodetic data worldwide to a variety of users. These geodetic data include the final results of geodetic surveys, software programs to format, compute, verify, and adjust original survey observations or to convert values from one geodetic datum to another, and publications that describe how to obtain and use Geodetic Data products and services

Important: This layer is meant to be viewed in conjunction with Artificial Reef Sites of New Jersey and Prime Fishing Grounds (Points) of New Jersey. The original “New Jersey’s Recreational and Commercial Ocean Fishing Grounds” charts were first created in 1982 with a second printing in 1984. In 2003, the Division of Fish and Wildlife's Bureau of Marine Fisheries, with funding from the Coastal Management Program, updated the map in digital format for inclusion in the Department's Geographic Information System. The updating of the map was accomplished through direct interviews with recreational fishing boat captains. Prime recreational fishing grounds identified in the various publications referenced in the rule and commercially prepared sport fishing charts (Homeport Charts and Charter Boat Charts) were transferred onto two sets of NOAA nautical charts, which served as the working or base map. For fishing grounds within 20 nautical miles of the coast, NOAA nautical charts Series 12326, 12323, 12318 and 12214 at a scale of 1:80,000 were used. For fishing beyond 20 nautical miles NOAA nautical charts Series 12200 and 12300 at a scale of 1:400,000 were used. During the summer of 2003, 28 party boat captains, 47 charter boat captains and 22 private boat captains from each fishing port (inlet) along the Atlantic Coast of New Jersey were interviewed by Department staff. These recreational fishing party boat, charter boat and private boat captains were selected because they fish the ocean waters on a daily basis using a wide variety of methods to catch a variety of fish species. The interview process entailed examining the accuracy of the already delineated prime fishing areas on the base map. Fishermen modified the base map by drawing their changes on the map. In general, modifications to the boundaries of the prime fishing areas resulted in an increase to the size of the prime fishing area. In a similar fashion, the captains drew new prime fishing areas on the base maps. The revised base maps were then digitized into the New Jersey Specific Sport Ocean Fishing Grounds Coverage. In 2018, the NJ Bureau of Marine Fisheries again updated the New Jersey Prime Fishing Grounds to include all current 17 artificial reef sites, and updated Homeport Charts.
