goHunterdon, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting safe and sustainable transportation, is the Transportation Management Association (TMA) serving Hunterdon County. goHunterdon is one of eight (8) TMAs in New Jersey that are funded by the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s Safe Routes to School Program.
Through their well-established K-8 pedestrian and bicycle education program, goHunterdon delivers interactive and engaging lessons to encourage safe walking and bicycling and to increase the number of students walking and bicycling in Hunterdon County.
goHunterdon celebrated Hunterdon County Walk & Roll to School Week!
Hunterdon County Walk/Roll to School Week will be held during the month of May 2023. The annual event, which is now in its 10th year, serves as the official launch of the spring walking season and the reactivation of several walking school buses across the county. One Hunterdon County School will activate their very first Bicycle Train! 
All twelve Hunterdon County walking district schools will again take part in the friendly “Golden Sneaker Award” competitions to determine which school has the largest percentage of students walking/rolling to school during the month of May.
The competitions provide an important opportunity for schools to conduct annual digital student travel tallies. goHunterdon has had success in schools conducting student travel tallies when it is part of the annual competition.
The stated goals of the Safe Routes to School Program are “Where it is safe, get more kids walking and bicycling to school, where it is not safe, make it safe”. For many years, goHunterdon has focused on the engagement and encouragement goals of getting more kids walking and bicycling to school. goHunterdon has successfully institutionalized SRTS programming at all of Hunterdon’s walking schools.
goHunterdon developed presentations customized to each school and will facilitate student led walkability assessments along routes to school.
Walk Assessments within the county will be facilitated over two consecutive days. Day one is a classroom presentation where students are educated about the concept of walkability. Students learn about the characteristics that make a neighborhood or street walkable, such as sidewalks, crosswalks, traffic signals, street lighting, and intersections. 
On the second day, students will apply their knowledge by conducting fieldwork to assess their walking school bus route. They will use a walkability assessment checklist based on the “NHTSA Walkability Checklist” to evaluate the walkability of their route, document the strengths, and identify areas where there are opportunities to improve conditions. Each school is deciding how the results of the assessments will be shared. In some cases, students will present their findings to peers, others will present to school representatives and others will share with local government officials. Information from the Walk Assessments will be incorporated into the School Travel Plans.
