An effort to improve pedestrian safety in New Jersey seems to be working, according to a new report by the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA).
Long Beach Island is now part of a handful of towns participating in a 12-month pilot program aimed at increasing pedestrian safety and driver awareness in New Jersey.
In an effort to lower New Jersey's 14th-place ranking in nationwide pedestrian fatalities, the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority has kicked off its new "Street Smart" pilot program, designed to raise public awareness about how to stay safe on the state's roads.
As part of a plan to make South Jersey more pedestrian-friendly, state officials have launched “Operation 130 Safe Passage” along a 22 ½ mile stretch of Route 130 in Burlington County.
