About Us

Teaming with the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety, the South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization (SJTPO) spearheaded the creation of the South Jersey Traffic Safety Alliance in 1998. Based on its record of regional cooperation, the SJTPO Policy Board supported forming a similar four-county organization to help SJTPO carry out federally-funded regional planning and project development in the region.

The Alliance brings together traffic safety professionals from the fields of law enforcement, education, fire, rescue, engineering and planning, to develop region-wide traffic safety programs, share successful practices, exchange information, and support capital projects.

Heading the Alliance is an Executive Board made up of twelve members, three from each county. The New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety appoints one from each county and each County Representative of the SJTPO Policy Board appoints two. The main purpose of the Executive Board is to make recommendations to the General Membership. These recommendations address legislative issues, committee appointments, safety programs, and training.

The General Membership meets four times a year. Although the meeting dates and locations change, the month and county designation is always the same.
