New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Commissioner Fran O’Connor, the New Jersey Safe Routes Resource Center, and New Jersey’s eight Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) are pleased to announce the 2024 recipients of the NJ Safe Routes to School Recognition Program. This year, 354 school and municipal winners are being recognized for their commitment and support of the Safe Routes to School program (SRTS) by enabling and encouraging walking and bicycling in their communities. Visit the NJ Safe Routes Resource Center website for a full list of all current winners.
There are four levels of the program, and each level signifies a school or municipality’s progress toward implementing and sustaining SRTS programs. Each year, schools and municipalities are nominated for recognition in this tiered program based upon their SRTS accomplishments. Recognition is valid for three years. Schools and municipalities that have earned NJ SRTS Recognition and are also enrolled in the Sustainable Jersey certification program can earn points for both programs.
