The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) has been recognized as a national leader for advancing Complete Streets policies, which promote safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other users of New Jersey roadways.

NJDOT was a pioneer in the adoption of Complete Streets policy in December 2009. The Department updated the Policy on November 26, 2024, ensuring that every project is reviewed for compliance with the 2024 Complete Streets policy. The policy requires that future roadway improvement projects include safe accommodations for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders and the mobility impaired.

This policy is implemented through the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of new, rehabilitated, and retrofitted transportation facilities, public highways, and public transportation projects funded or administered under the NJDOT Capital Program, to provide safe and equitable access for all users.
