motor vehicle crashes, injuries, and fatalities
on the roads of New Jersey. Municipal, county,

as well as non-profit organizations, are encouraged
to apply for NJDHTS grant funding to address specific,
local traffic safety issues. |

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 North 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. |

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
North Region, municipalities in the Top 25
of the region for pedestrian injury crashes
are eligible to apply for our Pedestrian Safety
Grant. Municipalities outside of the Top 25
may also apply for funding, as available.
|
|
|
The
grant includes funding for overtime enforcement
at pedestrian safety hot spots in the community
and educational outreach throughout the community.
|
|
|

the Region Supervisor to find out if you qualify
and to receive a copy of the Pedestrian Safety
grant application template. |
