The Future of Transportation in New Jersey Is on the Line
TRENTON, NJ, April 24, 2025—New Jersey’s transportation system is at a crossroads.

Sidewalks, bike lanes, trails, and transit are more than just transportation options — they are essential lifelines that connect New Jerseyans to jobs, schools, healthcare, and one another. As the state prepares to elect its next leader, residents deserve to know: Where do the candidates stand on building a more accessible, safe, and sustainable transportation future?
