Department of Transportation and related authorities and agencies
New Jersey's State Highway Commission was established in 1909. Its administrative functions were legally vested in the Highway Department in 1948 (although this department existed informally before then).
The Highway Department and related agencies were formed into the Department of Transportation in 1966. |
