Street Safety: What You Can Do Today Take the JC Transportation Master Plan Survey (Let’s Move JC): A Transportation Master Plan is a long-term planning document that helps guide how a community improves, manages, and invests in its transportation system. It is a useful tool to make sure that the transportation network — including: walking, biking, transit, driving, freight, and emergency vehicles — supports the community’s goals, future growth, and the needs of residents, businesses, and visitors. Jersey City is conducting a year-long study to develop a comprehensive Transportation Master Plan, funded by the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA). This effort will guide how the city invests in streets, sidewalks, transit, cycling, and traffic safety across the city. Take the survey HERE. See Click Fix: Submit Pedestrian Safety Requests through See Click Fix! Visit the Resident Response Center, or submit a request HERE. These requests go straight to city employees responsible for responding to them. The more requests we submit on the public record, the more pressure we can place on city officials to make real change. The city keeps track of how many requests are submitted on each issue/intersection, so please keep up the pressure! Street Safety Committee: The VVNA has created a new committee focused on community-driven, proactive & preventative street safety. This committee will gather community feedback on dangerous intersections, propose solutions, and hold city hall officials accountable to real and meaningful change. Do you have feedback or questions for the committee? Email us at streetsafety@vvnajc.org and keep an eye out for future volunteer opportunities (coming soon!) JC Traffic & Infrastructure Team Responds: Click HERE to see the first questions that were submitted in writing to the JC Traffic & Infrastructure team as they requested, along with their written responses. If you’d like us to submit your question in the next round, please email us at welcome@vvnajc.org with the subject line, TRAFFIC.
