10 Cost of Incomplete Streets: Safety Persons Killed in NJ, Drivers & Passengers Pedestrians & Bicyclists Source: NHTSA and NJ State Police Fatal Accident Unit ,520 total traffic fatalities 1,566 pedestrian fatalities 168 bicyclist fatalities Pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities have not fallen at the same rate as motorist fatalities Nearly 60% of pedestrian fatalities in NJ occurred on roads with speed limits of 40 mph or greater
11 Cost of Incomplete Streets: Safety Findings from Dangerous by Design 2011 by Transportation for America The 1,514 people killed between while walking in NJ cost the state $6.51 billion. Reducing pedestrian fatalities just10% would have saved NJ $651 million over 10 years.
12 Cost of Incomplete Streets: Safety Pedestrian Danger Index (PDI) NJ has an overall PDI of 53.2, ranking 21st nationally for relative risk to pedestrians Source: Dangerous by Design 2011, Transportation for America
13 Cost of Incomplete Streets: Safety Minorities and Seniors at Greater Risk Source: Dangerous by Design, Transportation for America
14 Benefits of Complete Streets: Safety Complete Streets improve safety: Directly, by reducing crashes through comprehensive safety improvements Indirectly, by encouraging nonmotorized travel and increasing the number of people bicycling and walking Photo source: RBA Group Photo source: VTC
15 Benefits of Complete Streets: Safety Raised Medians & Pedestrian Refuge Areas 46% reduction in pedestrian crashes at marked crosswalks 39% reduction in pedestrian crashes at unmarked crosswalk locations Installing raised pedestrian refuge islands on the approaches to unsignalized intersections has had the most impact reducing pedestrian crashes Source: FHWA Source: flickr/complete Streets NCDOT
16 Costs of Incomplete Streets: Construction/Maintenance & Operation Failure to accommodate all users can trigger an expensive retrofit at a later date Before After Source: National Complete Streets Coalition
17 Costs of Incomplete Streets: Construction/Maintenance & Operation Incomplete Street Costs State of MD $3.3 mil. in lawsuit
18 Benefits of Complete Streets: Construction/Maintenance & Operation Medians The cost of landscaping over 20 years is the same as repaving. Snow removal is better because the median provides some place to put the snow. Photo source: RBA Group
19 Benefits of Complete Streets: Construction/Maintenance & Operation Runoff Many public utility systems in NJ are old, and many municipalities spend lots of money to prevent runoff from flowing into and polluting nearby bodies of water A complete streets design with vegetation to absorb runoff would take more storm water out of the sewer systems.

20 Costs of Incomplete Streets: Economic Congestion Photo source: wikipedia New Jerseyans waste more than 52 hours per year stuck in traffic The average annual cost of congestion for NJ is $1,465 per licensed driver NJ has the third longest commute time in the nation Data source: NJDOT, New Jersey Traffic Congestion: A Growing Crisis, January 2008
21 Costs of Incomplete Streets: Economic Individual Transportation Costs 2 nd largest expense for American households, costing more than food, clothing, and health care Data source: National Complete Streets Coalition
22 Benefits of Complete Streets: Economic Location Efficiency Access to public transit, and rates of vehicle ownership are key to predicting mortgage performance. More available alternatives to car ownership = more flexibility when it comes to managing transportation costs, making them less likely to default on a mortgage. Data source: NRDC, 2010
23 Benefits of Complete Streets: Economic Location Efficiency Households located near transit drive an avg. 16 fewer miles/day compared to a household without access to public transit, saving thousands of dollars each year. $6,251 Estimated savings of a 2 person household that uses public transportation compared to a household with 2 cars and no public transportation accessibility. Data source: National Complete Streets Coalition Photo source: RBA Group
24 Benefits of Complete Streets: Economic Designing roads to make them safer for all users can increase overall capacity and efficiency without a negative impact on automobile travel. Designing wider roads means more time for pedestrians to cross, which in turn means more wait times for cars. Designing more wait times for pedestrians means most cars will go 45 mph on major thoroughfares and stop for 2 minutes instead of going along at 30 mph with less stopping time. In scenarios with narrower streets engineers can actually increase car capacity because there is less time for pedestrians to cross the street. Mid-block crossings are safer for pedestrians because there is traffic coming from 2 directions instead of 4 at intersections.
