Over the past several years, a number of policy threads have gained prominence in New Jersey. These include adapting to climate change, advancing social justice, and addressing the needs of overburdened communities. In addition, the disparate impacts the pandemic had on traditionally marginalized populations (low-income, black and brown communities, people with disabilities, and older adults) highlight the need to address mobility and accessibility issues in a more holistic way. In March of 2021, the New Jersey Climate Change Alliance Transportation working group launched an initiative that seeks to respond to the confluence of these threads. The initiative is intended to fill a gap in current transportation planning and policy discussions related to reducing emissions from the transport sector and to complement efforts to advance a transition to electric vehicles. The initiative is organized around a multi-goal framework that provides an opportunity to reimagine mobility in New Jersey in a way that is healthier, more just, resilient, and carbon-neutral.
