The Association of New Jersey Department of Transportation Retirees
We’re the group that keeps the NJDOT family together — after the job is done.
Join us for breakfasts, picnics, and holiday parties.
Four newsletters a year. Old friends. New laughs.
Just $75 for life or $10 a year.
We used to pack rooms with 100+ retirees.
Now every seat matters.
Bring your stories. Bring your spouse. Bring you.
Still working at NJDOT and over 50? Join now — stay connected when you retire.
Meet the Board of Directors
We are the nine volunteers who keep DOTRA running. We plan the breakfast, picnic, and holiday party. We write the newsletters and answer your questions. We do it for the friendships that started at NJDOT and still matter today.

Our Directors Emeriti
These dedicated leaders built DOTRA from the ground up. They planned our first picnics, mailed the early newsletters, and kept us connected long after retirement. Most have now passed on, but their spirit lives in every event we hold. Click below to see their photos and remember their stories.
Upcoming Events
We used to fill rooms with 100+ laughs and stories. Now every seat counts. Come for the food, stay for the friends you haven’t seen since the roadway plans, the bridge plans, the snow emergencies, the endless potholes, the traffic counts, or the late-night budget meetings. Bring a spouse, bring a memory — just bring you.
