The mission of the Foundation of the New Jersey Alliance for Action is to serve as a catalyst for initiatives, which will improve the quality of life of every resident of New Jersey. It will seek to enhance the economic wellbeing, the environment, the infrastructure and all those areas which affect how the people of our State live, work and raise families and spend their leisure time.

To carry out that mission, the Foundation is committed to gain funding for sponsorship of programs and project, which can be implemented to improve the quality of life of our citizens. It will conduct research, inform and educate the public on those issues, as well as on how specific partnership between the public and private sectors will benefit every citizen of New Jersey.

The Foundation is overseen by a board of trustees composed of some of New Jersey's most prominent business, labor, professional and educational leaders.

The continuing goal of advancing information and public support of the state's complex systems of transportation received a major boost in 2003 from The Foundation of the New Jersey Alliance for Action. The Foundation sponsored an attractive pocket-size pamphlet on key information about transportation infrastructure from highways and local roads to public transit to aviation and ports, titled appropriately "New Jersey Transportation Fast Facts."

Hundreds of statistics were reduced to a clear, concise source of data highlighted with colorful graphics. The pamphlet was designed to be useful to public officials at all levels of government faced with decisions on transportation projects as well as to business and labor leaders and the general public.

The Foundation has produced an impressive series of reports and studies:

• 1991 “New Jersey Infrastructure Study” a landmark study which identified $95 billion in infrastructure needs through the end of the century.
• 1994 “Intermodal Coordination Study: A Survey and Consultant Recommendations of Containerized Transportation in Northern New Jersey”
