Because the proportion of pedestrian fatalities in New Jersey is 31% (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 crash rates. |
 |
 |
In the Southern 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. Implementation of the Street Smart program. |
