Mission & Organization

The South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) was established by the Legislature in June 1991 to assume operational responsibilities for the Atlantic City Expressway, Atlantic City International Airport terminal, and parking facilities in Atlantic City.  As a successor to the New Jersey Expressway Authority and Atlantic County Transportation Authority (ACTA), the SJTA serves six counties - Atlantic, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem. Specifically, legislation (N.J.S.A. 27:25A-1 et seq.) charged the Authority with coordinating South Jersey's transportation system, including addressing the region's highway network, aviation facilities, and its current and future transportation needs.

The Atlantic City Expressway (ACE), Transportation Services and the Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) are the Authority's core components. These entities are divided into the following departments: Executive, Airport, Business Administration, Engineering, Operations, Finance, Enterprise Information, Transportation Technology, Marketing & Communications, and Transportation Services. Each department contributes to the Authority's focus through the use of its transportation assets and industry knowledge to stimulate economic development within its six-county service area.

The mission of the South Jersey Transportation Authority is to provide the traveling public with safe and efficient transportation through the acquisition, construction, management, maintenance and support of the roadway, airport, and transit operations, as well as other projects and services that may arise to support the economic growth of Atlantic, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem counties.
