New Jersey Safe Routes to School Program - Strategic Plan
The purpose of the strategic plan first and foremost is to establish an operational framework to guide NJDOT in the administration of the SRTS program. With an estimated $15 million in federal funds to invest in SRTS between FY05 and FY09, NJDOT has developed a broad vision through a series of stakeholder meetings. That vision includes the following tenets: · Create a greater awareness of SRTS throughout the state; · Entice schools, school districts and municipalities to take action by offering an array of services and programs; · Progressively increase the number of children walking and bicycling to school by producing physical and programmatic changes that make it feasible and attractive to walk and bike to school; · Ensure that youth mobility is incorporated into all school facility planning. Having developed consensus on the vision, the Department (working with its strategic development team) sought to develop a plan that: · Meets all federal requirements and is congruent with the objectives as outlined in FHWA’s Program Guidance1 on structuring state SRTS programs; · Yields measurable and significant results; · Provides choice and flexibility over the five-year federal funding scheme to the Department and its customers (schools and communities).
