MEADOWLANDS DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MDTP) OVERVIEW

The Hackensack Meadowlands Transportation Planning Act of 2005 and 2015 (Act), established a Transportation Planning District within the Hackensack Meadowlands District. The law requires the creation of a comprehensive District-wide Transportation Plan that designates transportation projects and associated funding needed to sustain future economic growth. The Act empowers the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority to assess fees on future District development based upon a technical analysis of its projected impact upon the transportation system.

The initial Meadowlands District Transportation Plan (MDTP) was adopted in 2007 by both the Meadowlands Transportation Planning Board (MTPB) and the NJSEA Board of Commissioners. The purpose of the MDTP is to identify transportation needs, recommend improvement projects, and estimate associated costs over a defined planning horizon, which extended to the target year of 2030 for the 2007 MDTP, and to target year 2045 for the 2024 MDTP. Development of the most recent plan, MDTP 2045, involved extensive outreach and coordination with both public- and private-sector stakeholders. The MDTP 2045 fulfills the requirements of the Act and plays a critical role in enhancing mobility and safety throughout the District for all roadway users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and both passenger and freight vehicles.

MEADOWLANDS DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2045 MEETINGS

The New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority initiated development of the Meadowlands District Transportation Plan (MDTP) 2045 in 2020, as an update to the original MDTP 2030, which was adopted in 2007. As part of the update, NJSEA undertook a comprehensive stakeholder outreach and data-gathering process including a series of meetings with the Governing Stakeholders Group, Technical Advisory Group and the Meadowlands Transportation Planning Board (MTPB). Meetings of the MTPB, which oversaw the update process, commenced in January 2021 and continued through adoption. The planning process culminated in a public hearing conducted by the MTPB followed by approval and adoption of the plan by the MTPB and NJSEA Board of Commissioners.
