Increasing the efficiency of our transportation systems and providing people with more transportation choices are two key components to achieving smart growth. Transportation efficiency and choice can help achieve cleaner air and water, less time wasted in traffic, more exercise, and less consumption of open and natural spaces. Although traffic congestion problems worsening each year and New Jerseyans spending more and more of their days behind the wheel, smart growth can help. Communities can implement new approaches to transportation planning, such as better coordination of land use and transportation plans; increasing access to or availability of transit service; improving road connectivity; and making sure that bicyclists and pedestrians have the same access to roads that drivers have. By combining a multi-modal transportation approach with smart development patterns, mobility can be improved.
Here, you'll find information about New Jersey's transportation systems, why improving New Jersey's transportation is important, ways to improve transportation in your town, and where to get more information.
