The document discusses Together North Jersey's Local Demonstration Project program. It aims to create 15 on-the-ground projects to inform the development of a regional strategic plan through partnerships across the 13 counties of North Jersey. The projects will be place-based or issue-based and selected competitively from applications. They will be directed by NJ Transit and focus on improving how people live, work and travel in the region. The timeline calls for applications and selections through spring 2013 with the first projects beginning in April.
