Vision of Zero Fatalities by 2050

Planning & Programs

NJDOT leads efforts to holistically plan and implement initiatives with the greatest safety benefit. The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) aims to improve roadway safety for all users and is guided by the New Jersey 2020 Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), a statewide, coordinated, action-oriented plan developed by NJDOT in consultation with federal, state, and private safety stakeholders to provide a comprehensive framework for reducing fatalities and serious injuries. NJDOT also collaborates with New Jersey’s Metropolitan Planning Organizations and other state and federal partners to administer New Jersey’s innovative, data-driven safety programs. Furthermore, safety considerations are not restricted solely to the HSIP; rather, they are incorporated into all NJDOT projects and programs.

Funding

Federal and state funding supports New Jersey’s roadway safety infrastructure, education, and enforcement initiatives. This includes federal funding received from the FHWA Highway Safety Improvement Program, a federal aid program intended to achieve a significant reduction of traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads by focusing on performance through a data-driven, strategic approach to improving roadway safety for all users. The New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund supports infrastructure safety improvements while additional federal aid from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is administered by the Department of Highway Traffic Safety, addresses safety education and enforcement initiatives in the state.
