How New Jersey is Revolutionizing Paratransit Rider Opportunities and Experiences with Transportation Network Companies (TNC’s) (P) Room: Wildwood 18-19 Across the nation, mass transit agencies, counties, and other public transportation providers, have struggled to meet the growing demand for paratransit service. In recent years, agencies like NJ TRANSIT have sought to be innovative in how they enhance paratransit service through engagement with TNCs and other non-traditional service providers. Last year, advocates passed legislation to allow this new and innovative form of public transportation that will combine technology and a network of fully FTA compliant drivers to drive better performance, savings, and service. NJ TRANSIT, counties and other public owners will now be better equipped to ensure everyone, no matter their mobility needs, has access to safe, reliable, and affordable transportation. By adding TNC’s to existing paratransit service, public transportation providers can significantly expand their service area and impact on the disabled and disadvantaged communities. Learn from experts who have delivered paratransit service all over the country, legislators that championed the legislative victory, and NJ providers who are engaging with this new and innovative approach to paratransit service.

Advancing Truck Safety: NJDOT Implementation of Truck Parking Management and Truck Driver Alerting System (P) (E) Room: Wildwood 21 This panel will discuss NJDOT Pilot Tests of Truck Parking Information System (TPIS). The American Trucking Associations and Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association wrote a letter to USDOT earlier this year citing that 98 percent of truck drivers report problems finding safe parking. As a result, many state departments of transportation have engaged in a variety of truck parking expansion efforts in recent years. Despite having approximately 2,915 truck parking spaces available in New Jersey, there is also an obvious shortage of truck parking in the Garden State. In 2021, ITS Technologies deployed sensors and cameras at the Harding Truck Rest Area and recently, in November of 2023, they deployed sensors and cameras at Deepwater Truck Rest Area in Carney’s Point.

TransAction VIP Panel: A Transportation Road Map for New Jersey’s Next Gubernatorial Administration (P) Room: Wildwood 8-9-10 2025 is a pivotal year for New Jersey. Governor Murphy is in the final year of his second term, and the Garden State will be electing a new Chief Executive. As the most densely populated state in the country, and one that continues to grow in population, the constant demands placed on our state’s roads, rail and bridges would be enough of a challenge for any future Governor, but that is not the case. We are also a host state for the Gateway Program, home of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Finals, currently designing the Turnpike’s Interchange 1-4 Widening program and so much more. The next administration will need guidance from the transportation community on how to tackle all these challenges, and that is what this workshop aims to do. Come hear from several experts from the transportation community including construction industry leadership, former agency leaders, engineering industry subject matter experts, community transportation providers and more. This workshop will aim to discuss the most pressing transportation issues facing New Jersey and will share the ideas that come from the workshop with all the leading candidates running for Governor.

Improving Traffic Safety Through AI-Assisted Near Miss Analysis (P) (E) Room: Wildwood 4 The increase in road user fatalities, particularly bicycles and pedestrians, has reached critical levels. Historically, problem locations where engineering solutions are needed have been difficult to identify, as they rely on historic crash data. One longstanding technique used in traffic safety has been conflict or near miss analysis (since only a small portion of near misses become actual crashes). This type of analysis has historically been labor intensive, and thus expensive. Several products have recently entered the market place that utilize AI algorithms to detect near misses from video feeds – thereby reducing the costs of near miss analysis. Several companies have been actively using this technology for real life case studies to enhance safety. This session will include presentations from three companies that are actively using this technology – Quality Counts, LLC, Transoft Solutions, and MioVision. Moderator: Gordon E. Meth, P.E., PTOE, PTP, RSP2I, Civil Engineer & Highway Engineering Expert, Robson Forensic Presenter: Matthew Maher, P.E., Principal, Stantec Presenter: Preston W.

Advocating for the Right Resilience Project, at the Right Moment * Eligible for AICP Resiliency CE Credits * (P) Room: Wildwood 21 As agencies develop a clearer understanding of their risk landscape, the focus has shifted from identifying vulnerabilities to strategically prioritizing resilience projects. To maximize impact and secure funding, agencies must adopt a proactive advocacy strategy that aligns project priorities with available opportunities. This requires leveraging traditional project ranking methods while incorporating a multi-criterion analysis (MCA) framework that takes a wider view of potential barriers to resilience project implementation. MCA enables decision-makers to evaluate projects not only by assessing the potential risk reduction, but also by factors such as equity, economic benefit, environmental impact, and political feasibility. Agencies must address challenges such as syncing projects with capital planning timelines, weighing project completeness verses real estate constraints, assessing community readiness, while preparing for new asset class operations and maintenance. Additionally, competing priorities—such as maintaining a state of good repair, navigating federal funding uncertainties, aligning with asset management frameworks, and coordinating with emergency management—further complicate the decision-making process. By integrating these diverse criteria, agencies can articulate an advocacy strategy that resonates with stakeholders and funding partners. This approach ensures that resilience projects are not only technically sound but also positioned for success in a competitive funding environment. This session will explore practical strategies to integrate into resilience planning, emphasizing how agencies can identify advocacy priorities that align with funding cycles, legislative opportunities, and community needs. Participants will gain insights into framing resilience investments in ways that reflect both urgency and long-term value, equipping them to champion the right project at the right moment.

Moving Away from Traffic Impact Assessments (P) (E) Room: Wildwood 6 Traffic Impact Assessments (TIAs) are the industry standard way to assess the impact of proposed development to the transportation network. TIAs are often limited in focus to vehicle trips generated, and impacts to the roadway congestion, with limited considerations of planning goals, safety outcomes and modal choice impacts. Often the results of a TIA are reflected only in on-site parking, and off-site roadway mitigations. Discussed are alternative ways transport impacts of development can be considered, including alternate ways to approach Parking requirements and VMTs.

Moving Away from Traffic Impact Assessments (P) (E) Room: Wildwood 6 Traffic Impact Assessments (TIAs) are the industry standard way to assess the impact of proposed development to the transportation network. TIAs are often limited in focus to vehicle trips generated, and impacts to the roadway congestion, with limited considerations of planning goals, safety outcomes and modal choice impacts. Often the results of a TIA are reflected only in on-site parking, and off-site roadway mitigations. Discussed are alternative ways transport impacts of development can be considered, including alternate ways to approach Parking requirements and VMTs.
