A Department For All Seasons  

Travon Romeo has been a vital part of the Public Works Department since joining in 2003. With a robust educational background and an array of certifications, he has established himself as a leader in his field. Travon is a Certified Public Works Manager, a Certified Recycling Professional, and a Clean Community Coordinator, having obtained these certifications from Rutgers University. Additionally, he holds a C3 Sewer Systems Collections License issued by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and a Certified Pool Operator's Certification (CPO).


Under his leadership, the Public Works Department (DPW) of the Township is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of public areas and facilities. The DPW is dedicated to maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and aesthetic appearance of the community through proactive and preventative maintenance programs. Their scope of work includes recycling collection, maintenance of Township buildings, care for all Township-owned vehicles, and the upkeep of parks, roadways, and both sanitary and storm sewer systems.


Travon expresses immense pride in the men and women of the Department of Public Works. Every day, the employees strive to deliver first-class services to the Township and its residents. Their duties are extensive and diverse, covering tasks such as clearing snow from streets, leaf removal, maintaining numerous parks and playgrounds, overseeing over 20,000 trees, managing hundreds of miles of sewer lines, building maintenance, and maintaining a fleet of vehicles for the Police, Fire, Recreation, and Public Works Departments.


Despite the significant workload, the dedicated employees of the DPW consistently perform at their highest capability, ensuring a professional environment while providing essential services to the community.
