It works by analyzing factors such as poverty, car ownership, and transit access and other key data to highlight areas that may benefit from additional mobility investments.

This approach builds on and adapts a framework used by the 2022 JC on the Move transportation study. It is important to acknowledge the index is a work in progress. As we gather feedback and refine our approach, the tool will continue to improve and better reflect community needs.

To help improve future versions of the tool, we welcome any feedback on the analysis and mapping by email to stopthesoot@deptest.nj.gov with the subject “Transportation Needs Index feedback”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”bottom” css=”.vc_custom_1741972987076{padding-bottom: 2vw !important;}”][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Explore the Index” color=”green” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fstorymaps.arcgis.com%2Fstories%2F7e6916e5a99e4eb08ee6c749d5bcf9ce|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”bottom”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]
