1 Charles Brown, MPA COMPLETE STREETS IN NEW JERSEY: A WINNING STRATEGY Complete Streets The Intersection of Health and Planning October 26, :30AM 12:30PM

2 Purpose Share Strategies from New Jersey s Successful Complete Streets Playbook

3 Football Analogy: Team New Jersey OFFENSE: It is the job of the offense to advance the ball towards the opponent s end zone to score points (i.e., complete policy adoption & implementation). DEFENSE: It is the job of the defense to prevent the other team from scoring points (i.e., not adopting or implementing complete policies). SPECIAL TEAMS: Usually includes skilled players from offense and defense (e.g., strategic partnerships and coalition building).

4 Scouting Report - Background State of New Jersey: 8,938,175 residents; Most densely populated state; Avg. 150 pedestrian fatalities a year; Pedestrian fatality rate is almost twice the national average; Pedestrian Safety Focus State; Intersection Focus City (Newark); 1,514 pedestrian deaths cost the state $6.51 billion (10 years) Impetus for complete streets policy adoption!

5 Scouting Report - Background City of Montclair Adopts State s First Complete Streets Policy!

6 Scouting Report - Background NJDOT adopts Complete Streets Policy Strongest Policy in the Nation! Establish a checklist Develop/support new technologies Consider connections for SRTS, SRTT, transit villages, etc. Implement training for staff Establish performance measures Exemption requires NJDOT Commissioner approval

7 Scouting Report - Background NJDOT makes internal changes: NJDOT Staff Trained Complete Streets Checklist Additional Point on Local Aid Application Integration of Complete Streets into Capital Project Delivery Process Source: NJDOT Subject Matter Expert Review

15 Offensive Strategy #3 Credible Research Reoccurring Questions: 1. If my city decides to invest in active transportation (i.e., bicycling and walking) what will be the economic impact? 2. Will the state see a positive return on investment in bicycling and walking? 3. How will complete streets implementation be evaluated at the state, county, and municipal level? 4. Are there any national examples of government entities evaluating complete streets implementation?

16 Offensive Strategy #4 Public Outreach In what is likely to be looked back on as a game changing moment, the NJDOT has adopted an internal Complete Streets policy, becoming only the second state in the nation to do so. -- Brent Barnes, Director, Statewide Planning, NJDOT
