Build a Better Mousetrap

New Jersey’s Build a Better Mousetrap Competition provides a great opportunity to share new ideas with others in the State and across the country. We are looking for submissions from employees of local or state public agencies (municipalities, counties, parks commissions, NJ Department of Transportation, NJ Transit) that have developed new solutions to problems or found better ways of doing things. We will gather the best ideas from around the state and judge them using a 5-point rating system. The highest scoring entries will be entered into a Build a Better Mousetrap National competition.

The NJDOT Bureau of Research, Innovation, and Information Transfer (BRIIT) supports research that leads to real-world implementation—whether through testing and adopting new materials and technologies, improving specifications, or increasing efficiency. Its goal is to advance practical, effective solutions that promote more durable infrastructure, enhance environmental protection and resilience, and improve mobility and safety for New Jersey’s residents, workers, and visitors.
