Seat
Belts |
|
|
| |
 |
The
current seat belt usage rate in New Jersey
is 88.29%.
|
|
|
The
goal of the seat belt program is to continue
to raise this usage rate in the years ahead.
|
|
|
In
the Central Region, seat belt grant funding
is distributed through the annual Click It
or Ticket two-week enforcement mobilization. |
|
|
Currently
there are no year-round seat belt grants available.
|
|
|
Contact
the Region Supervisor to be considered for the
next Click It or Ticket funding cycle |

Impaired
Driving (Alcohol and Other Drugs) |
|
|
| |
|
The
proportion of alcohol-related fatalities in
New Jersey is 30%.
|
|
|
In
the Central Region, impaired driving enforcement
grant funding is distributed through the Year-End
and August/September "Drive Sober or Get
Pulled Over" crackdowns.
|
|
|
Year-round,
innovative impaired driving grants involving
enforcement and education will also be considered. |
|
|
Contact the
Region Supervisor to be considered for the next
"Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" funding
cycle.

Pedestrian
Safety |
|
|
| |
|
Because
the proportion of pedestrian fatalities in
New Jersey is 25% (well above the national
average), pedestrian safety is a continuing
priority.
|
|
|
The
goal of the pedestrian safety program area is
to lower the pedestrian fatality and injury
rates. |
|
|
In
the Central Region, municipalities that are
statistically high for pedestrian injury crashes
are eligible to apply for our Pedestrian Safety
Grant.
|
|
|
The
grant includes funding for overtime enforcement
at pedestrian safety hot spots in the community
and educational outreach throughout the community. |
|
|
Contact
the Region Supervisor to find out if you qualify
and to receive further information. |
|
|
|
| |
Aggressive
Driving and Speed Enforcement |
|
|
| |
|
Residential speeding is seen as a
major quality of life issue in most New Jersey
communities. |
|
|
Grant funding is available for overtime
enforcement relating to speed and aggressive
driving, however, a traffic speed
study and traffic count data are required.
|
|
|
Contact
the Region Supervisor to find out if you qualify
and to receive the latest information on this
program area.

|
| |
|
Child
passenger safety grants are concentrated at
the regional or County level, focusing on
consistently scheduled “stations”
in lieu of roving checkpoints. Booster seat
education materials have been developed and
grantees are required to address this issue.
