New Jersey Department of Transportation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) maintains the State Highway system in New Jersey. It is headed, like most state departments, by the Commissioner of Transportation. The present Commissioner is Kris Kolluri, Esq. Kolluri was sworn into office as Commissioner on March 13, 2006.
Until 2003, the NJDOT was responsible for the operation of the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), which was re-established as the self-operating New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.
The NJDOT was also responsible for maintaining and procuring equipment for the state's bus and train operations. Notable are the 800+ Flxible bus order, the EMD GP40Ps for the Central Railroad of New Jersey, the GE U34CH locomotives and Comet I cars for the Erie Lackawanna, and the almost Amtrak-esque appearance of 1970s NJ commuter trains with mixtures of cars from the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, Great Northern, Santa Fe, Burlington Northern, Penn Central, and the Central Railroad of New Jersey. They are also trying to slowly remove all of the traffic circles in New Jersey.
