Impaired
Driving |

|
The proportion
of alcohol-related fatalities in New Jersey
is 30%.
|
|
|
In the North 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
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.
|
|
|
Contact
the Region Supervisor to find out if you qualify
and to receive further information. |

Child passenger safety grants
are concentrated at
the regional or County level, focusing on
consistently
scheduled “stations” in lieu of

and
grantees are required to address this issue.
