Central Jersey Transportation Forum

Train StationPlanSmart NJ is a member of the project team, which also includes the New Jersey Department of Transportation, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, and NJ TRANSIT. The project team has assessed future traffic conditions along the US 1, US 130, and US 206 corridors in central New Jersey and is developing strategies and actions for addressing issues of mobility and access.

PlanSmart NJ had the lead role in constructing a "smart growth" scenario for analyzing the impacts of center-based development and increased public transit service in the study area. This work involved preparing demographic projections, organizing and facilitating a planning charrette, and participating in steering committee meetings. The planning charrette involved preparing and discussing potential public transit services and center-based development in the study area.

The second phase of the project has involved participating in Steering Committee and sub-committee meetings, including a legislative sub-committee. This committee has prepared a draft proposal for new regional planning legislation. PlanSmart NJ is advancing these discussions by organizing seminars and roundtables to explore the proposed legislation.
