With New Jersey’s new governor now elected, the months ahead present a critical opportunity to set a course toward a more resilient, innovative, and equitable future for the state. In anticipation of the transition, the New Jersey State Policy Lab invited Rutgers faculty and staff to identify evidence-based policy priorities that can guide the incoming administration.

The result highlights research-backed strategies spanning transportation, housing, infrastructure, environment, energy, education, and public-sector innovation.

VTC researchers contributed to this effort, offering insights that underscore the importance of equitable, sustainable, and community-focused planning to advance New Jersey’s economic and environmental goals.

The post outlines opportunities for the new administration to strengthen infrastructure investment, improve mobility and safety, expand housing access, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions — ultimately helping communities across New Jersey thrive.
