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 to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on all of New Jersey’s public roads, with an emphasis on strategies that can provide the greatest opportunity for a positive impact on safety.
