What is the New Jersey 2025 Strategic Highway Safety Plan?

The New Jersey 2025 Strategic Highway Safety Plan (NJ 2025 SHSP) is a comprehensive five-year plan aimed to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on all of New Jersey’s public roads, with an emphasis on those areas that provide the greatest opportunity for a positive impact on safety.

The NJ 2025 SHSP establishes goals, objectives, and strategies that consider Education and Public Awareness, Enforcement, Engineering, Emergency Response, often referred to as the 4Es.

The NJ 2020 SHSP was released in August 2020. The project team is currently working on the development of the NJ 2025 SHSP, an update to the NJ 2020 SHSP, which will be guided by the Safe System Approach.
