TRENTON, NJ, April 24, 2025—New Jersey’s transportation system is at a crossroads. Amidst growing concerns over funding for public transit, pedestrian pathways, and bike infrastructure, the choices made by our next governor will have a profound impact on the future of mobility across the Garden State.
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?
