Safe Routes Scoop is the blog of the New Jersey Safe Routes to School Program (SRTS), managed by the New Jersey Safe Routes to School Resource Center at the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center. We are located within the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
Here, we publish:
- News, ideas and examples of SRTS projects around New Jersey and the nation.
- Announcements about research, education programs, and presentations from the Center and our sponsor agencies
- Other newsworthy items about SRTS, bicycling, and walking in New Jersey
The NJ Safe Routes to School Resource Center assists public officials, transportation and health professionals, and the public in creating a safer and more accessible walking and bicycling environment through primary research, education and dissemination of information about best practices in policy and design. The Center is supported by the New Jersey Department of Transportation through funds provided by the Federal Highway Administration.
