Introduction

On December 3, 2021, The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published a new Broadband Infrastructure Deployment rule. § 645.307(a) adds four new requirements to Section 607 of the MOBILE NOW Act. Under the new rules, NJDOT must:

(1) Identify a broadband utility coordinator who is responsible for facilitating the infrastructure ROW efforts within the State.

(2) Establish a registration process for broadband infrastructure entities who may be interested in installing facilities in conjunction with roadway projects.

(3) Notify broadband infrastructure companies identified under (2), on an annual basis, of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and provide other notifications as necessary

(4) Coordinate these initiatives with other statewide telecommunication and broadband plans, state and local transportation plans and land use plans.
