A new report finds the DOT spending taxpayer money very efficiently.

In a conversation with Townsquare Media, DOT Assistant Commissioner of Operations Andrew Tunnard offered a detailed glimpse into the state's action plan and execution for winter storms.

This past winter was very tough on New Jersey's snowstorm budget, and the money continues to move out the door to help with weather-related road repairs.

A number of roads across New Jersey are being left untreated as the region gets hit with storm after storm and entities struggle to replenish their salt supplies.

More than eight months after Superstorm Sandy, work is about to begin to rebuild a road that's described as the gateway to the Jersey Shore - Route 35.

There are 6,500 bridges located in New Jersey, and many of them were built decades ago.  But are they safe?

The 2012-2013 winter, on the surface, doesn't appear to be too harsh in terms of weather. However, the numbers present a different story.

The Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Causeway has served as the only way on and off Long Beach Island for more than 50 years. With the new project, that would no longer be the case.

It's not even winter yet and already, New Jersey has seen two significant storms, one of which devastated the coast.

Violators of the state's Safe Corridors can take comfort in knowing that their fine money is going to a good cause. Governor Chris Christie recently announced that $3 million of it will fund traffic safety programs through out the state.
