In this episode, we chat with Steve Dunn, an EMT/Firefighter who began intermittently riding his bike to work at the Elizabeth Fire Department in 2012.  In 2020, he decided to give up car commuting to the firehouse altogether.  What started out as a simple way to ditch the frustrations of New Jersey traffic and get a little exercise, has turned into a passion for active transportation and all its benefits.

Mobility Matters hosts  Arlene Holt and Christopher Gonda are joined by Sean Meehan
 Senior Research Specialist of the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center, Rutgers University to discuss the Safe Routes to NJ program and its impact on our region.

The New Jersey Safe Routes Program, supported by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, is a statewide initiative with a mission to partner with schools and communities to prioritize and implement opportunities for people to walk, bike, or travel by other wheeled devices. By focusing on improvements to support active travel by youth, we believe we can create conditions that are safe, healthy, equitable, and appealing for all.   

Safe Routes for All provides safe and equitable access to active transportation for people of all ages and abilities from all backgrounds and neighborhoods in New Jersey.

Mobility Matters hosts Bill Neary and Arlene Holt are joined by Hightstown Borough Councilman, Joe Cicalese.  In this episode, Councilman Cicalese shares his insight on developing and implementing a Complete Streets policy.  

A Complete Streets program 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 or rehabilitated transportation facilities within public rights of way that are federally or state-funded, including projects processed or administered by NJDOT.
