TOGETHER, WE CAN BUILD A SAFER FUTURE ON NEW JERSEY’S ROADS
In January, 2025 Governor Murphy signed the bill to create the NJ Target Zero Action Plan to end traffic deaths by 2040. The NJ Target Zero Working Group (the task force) was immediately established.
As Director of Asbury Park Complete Streets Coalition I am a part of that committee, which has been meeting and working diligently for 6 months.
We need your help Asbury Park!
2040 is only 15 years away…
We know from experience in our city that it can take many years to see implementation of basic, simple, painted traffic calming measures, so we have to get going NOW to achieve the 2040 goal.
Asbury Park can follow the template of the NJ Target Zero Working Group, which has been at work for 6 months, and nearly completed the work toward the NJ Action Plan.
Urge AP city leadership to set up the Asbury Park Vision Zero Task Force NOW so we can get to work to achieve the goal of zero traffic deaths in AP by 2040 and to support the NJ goal:
Your input will help make Asbury Park, and NJ roads safer.
