The New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety (DHTS) funds Community Traffic Safety Program (CTSP) coordinators in every county in the State. They work with local stakeholders to identify traffic safety problems, develop appropriate countermeasures, and implement or advocate solutions. The coordinators are the county-level focal point for communication and cooperation among local government agencies, the DHTS, and the private sector on traffic safety issues. The DHTS Director and staff directs CTSP coordinators to link their programs directly with the SHSP in order to extend implementation to the local level. Since FY 2009, behavioral strategies and action steps within the SHSP (impaired driving, occupant protection, pedestrian safety, distracted driving, older drivers, younger drivers, motorcycle safety, and aggressive driving) have been fully adopted as elements in the CTSP business plans. This has been further strengthened by the development of a CTSP program evaluation that directly links CTSP activities with the SHSP. Performance and outcome measures used to monitor and evaluate CTSP activities relate to the strategies and actions in the SHSP. ResultsAll CTSP activities are driven by SHSP emphasis area action plans. CTSP strategic planning documents and program evaluations are linked to SHSP implementation. Contact: Publication Year: 2010 |
