#BREAKING: Gov. Christie Issues Executive Order To Fund ‘Absolutely Essential’ Road Projects: https://t.co/XiwkouqSKn

— CBS Philly (@CBSPhilly) August 17, 2016

“No evident progress has been made by the Legislature to pass a single, viable bill to reauthorize the TTFA,” Governor Christie said in a statement. “A well-maintained transportation infrastructure is essential to the operation of New Jersey’s economy and the people who rely upon it in all aspects of their daily lives. The current situation will persist until the Senate and the General Assembly pass an acceptable TTFA funding bill. Until they do so, the State must use money from the General Fund for emergency road, bridge, and mass transportation work.”

The order did not specify any specific road projects.

Christie had ordered a shutdown last month of most transit projects funded by the TTF after he and lawmakers couldn’t reach a deal about raising the state’s gas tax.
