NJ Safe Routes Announces Recognition Program Winners

Much like the League of American Bicyclists Bicycle Friendly Communities and the Sustainable Jersey Certification program, NJ Safe Routes to School has created a medal inspired awards program for schools that have taken steps to make it safer and easier to walk or bike to school.

The New Jersey Safe Routes to School Recognition Program Award is begging for a naming competition but the award offers the incentive of friendly competition and recognizes the leaders of the Safe Routes to School movement who can serve as examples for the rest of the state.
