AWARDS WORKSHOP

First held in 2001, the Awards Program has been established to recognize those that have made outstanding contributions to promoting traffic safety issues throughout South Jersey.

Award recipients are chosen from nominations from their peers, in the fields of education, engineering, planning, enforcement and community awareness.  

Additionally, in 2003, some award  recipients helped to further Alliance programs or laid the groundwork for Alliance programs and yet others initiated programs in their county that the Alliance used as models.
