Seat
Belts |
|
|
| |
 |
The
current seat belt usage rate in New Jersey
is 92.67%. |
|
|
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 |

|
The
proportion of alcohol-related fatalities in
New Jersey (2008) is 26%.
|
|
|
The
goal of the impaired driving program is to lower
this rate in the years ahead. |
|
|
In
the Central Region, impaired driving grant funding
is primarily distributed through the annual
"Over the Limit. Under Arrest" two-week
enforcement crackdown. |
|
|
Year-round,
innovative impaired driving grants involving
enforcement and education will also be considered. |

Contact
the Region Supervisor to be considered for

Pedestrian
Safety |

Because
the proportion of pedestrian fatalities in
New Jersey is 21% (well above the national
average), pedestrian safety is an emerging
priority.
|
|
|
The
goal of the pedestrian safety program area is
to lower the pedestrian fatality and injury
rate in the years ahead. |
|
|
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. |

communities. |
|
|
Grant funding is available for overtime
enforcement relating to speed and aggressive
driving.

priorities include regaining certification
for many expired technicians and streamlining
re-certification procedures.

A small amount of grant funding is available
for CPS, including overtime funding for
CPS check events and the purchase of materials
to support CPS check events.
