System for Administering Grants Electronically (SAGE); Project Management Reporting System (PMRS) Vanaja Komatreddy 609.963.2002


The New Jersey Department of Transportation's (NJDOT) online grant management system, SAGE (System for Administering Grants Electronically), is a method of accepting, reviewing, approving and managing grants.

SAGE users can submit grant applications, communicate with Grant Program staff, request changes and manage grants.

This system requires authorization for access. If you belong to a county or municipality, you already have an Authorized Official registered with access to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (NJDCA) SAGE. If not, please contact your organization's Authorized Official who can grant you access to the system from NJDCA SAGE. You will then be able to log into both systems, NJDCA and NJDOT SAGE. If you belong to any other type of organization, you may request access as an Authorized Official directly through NJDOT SAGE.
