____________________________________________________________________________________________________
1. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, much attention has been given to improving
bicycle facilities throughout New Jersey. Former Governors
Christine Todd Whitman, James E. McGreevy and Richard
Codey pledged their support and commitment to improving
bicycle facilities in the State by awarding over $16 million in
grant funding for local bicycle facilities. Governor Jon Corzine
is continuing this support and commitment. An increasing
number of municipalities in southern New Jersey are adding
bicycle facilities to their road network. NJ TRANSIT permits
and can accommodate bicycles on-board almost all of its
public transit services. In southern New Jersey, bicycles are
permitted on NJ TRANSIT buses, the River LINE, the Atlantic
City rail line, the BurLink system and the Port Authority Transit
Corporation (PATCO) Speedline. As traffic congestion
continues to worsen throughout New Jersey, government
leaders and the private sector are realizing the worth of
bicycling as a commute alternative. The cost to stripe a
bicycle lane or install a bike rack at a worksite is small when
compared to improving roadways and building more parking.
PERSPECTIVE
New Jersey Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
In 1995, the New Jersey Department of Transportation
published the Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
which was updated in 2004. The primary goal of the
Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan is to provide
clear guidance to NJDOT, MPOs, counties and other
implementers on the most efficient and effective use of federal,
state and local resources to implement bicycle and pedestrian
initiatives. The 2004 update of the Statewide Bicycle and
Cross County Connection
Pedestrian Master Plan presents a vision and action plan for
improving the bicycling and walking environment throughout
the state. It provides organizations, agencies and local
governments with analytical tools and methods to plan for
future facilities. This Plan serves as a blueprint for improving
conditions for bicycling and walking and focuses on state
highways and county roads.
Cross County Connection’s Bicycle Facilities Project
In contrast, the Cross County Connection bicycle facilities
project examines the county and municipal bicycle facilities
network specifically for commuting purposes. Therefore, while
the Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan focuses on
the larger state and county road network, Cross County
Connection examines how commuters can use local and
regional bicycle facilities to get to and from their places of
employment and other commuting destinations.
Given the increased awareness of, and interest in, bicycling as
a commute alternative, Cross County Connection decided to
inventory bicycle facilities throughout southern New Jersey.
Given the size of Cross County Connection’s seven county
service area, this work is being conducted over several years
and through two phases and is being funded by the New
Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) and the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Phase I includes the
inventory of existing and proposed bicycle facilities by county.
During 2004, an inventory of facilities in Burlington and
Camden counties was completed. During 2005, the inventories
in Gloucester and Atlantic counties were completed;
inventories in Salem and Cumberland counties were
completed during 2006 and the Cape May County inventory
was completed in 2007. This document reports the findings of
1 May 2008
Bicycle Facilities Inventory and Analysis: Cape May County
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

the inventory and analysis (Phases I and II) for Cape May
County, which was undertaken during late spring of 2007.
The Phase II analysis uses the inventory to identify gaps in the
county’s regional bicycle network. The gaps were prioritized to
identify those facilities that should be built in the near future.
These facilities are those that have the greatest potential to
link bicycle commuters to regional employment opportunities
via the public transit system. The Phase II analysis for Cape
May County was completed during the spring of 2008 and is
included in this report.
The need for studies like Cross County Connection’s bicycle
facilities project is demonstrated in the lack of strategic
placement of existing bicycle facilities. There is a limited
number of existing bicycle facilities that have inter-municipal
connections. For example, there are no existing links between
Salem and Cumberland counties. While there is a need for a
coherent set of plans that the counties and municipalities can
use to design and build commuter bicycle facilities, there is
also a need to locate the gaps in the local bicycle facility
network and determine how best to complete them, both at the
county and regional level.

Additionally, Phase II of the Cape May County Project includes The ultimate goal of Cross County Connection’s bicycle facility

process is designed to show local governments which facilities
should be built immediately to fill in the gaps in the county’s
bicycle network. It is hoped that by identifying and prioritizing
these facilities, they will be looked upon more favorably when
funding is sought. 1

THE CAPE MAY COUNTY WORK
The purpose of Phase I of Cross County Connection’s bicycle
facility work in Cape May County is to identify existing and
proposed bicycle facilities at the municipal level and to assist
local governments as well as Cape May County to identify
commuter bicycle facilities. This inventory will assist local
governments to prioritize their existing bicycle facilities and
plan for building future facilities.
The primary goal of this project is to inventory the existing and
proposed bicycle facilities in Cape May County’s 16
municipalities. The emphasis of this inventory is on bicycle
facilities that can be used for commuting purposes. Therefore,
closed systems that are used primarily for recreation (parks,
school facilities) are not included in this analysis, unless they
could be opened and connected to a regional facility.
To further facilitate commuting, the bicycle facilities inventory
is compared to NJ TRANSIT’s existing bus route system. NJ
TRANSIT’s buses are equipped with bicycle racks; therefore, a
commuter can bicycle to a bus stop, attach the bicycle to the
bus, and use it to reach the final destination. By combining
bicycle trips with public transit trips, Cape May County
commuters have better access to employment opportunities
throughout southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia area.
METHODOLOGY
To inventory commuter oriented bicycle facilities in Cape May
County, Cross County Connection surveyed the county’s 16
municipalities as well as the County during late spring of 2007.
All 16 municipalities, the County and the South Jersey
Transportation Planning Organization (SJTPO) responded to
Cross County Connection
the survey. Cross County Connection input the data into its
Geographical Information System (GIS) software. Municipal
data was cross-referenced with the New Jersey Bicycle and
Pedestrian Master Plan. As the scope of this project is
municipal, if a facility was reported by a municipality, it
superseded either SJTPO or NJDOT data. The facilities were
grouped into four categories, as follows:
x Existing facilities
o On-road
o Off-road
x Proposed facilities
o On-road
o Off-road
Cross County Connection created attribute tables as well as
county and municipal maps of the facilities. Once the
inventory was finalized, Cross County Connection undertook
Phase II of this project; the gap and prioritization analysis.
The completed inventory will also be placed on Cross County
Connection’s website as part of an interactive map of bicycle
facilities in southern New Jersey. Please visit
www.driveless.com to view the interactive bicycle facilities
maps.

2. INVENTORY
Cross County Connection began its analysis by identifying
existing and proposed bicycle facilities at the municipal level.
During the spring of 2007, the 16 municipalities in Cape May
County were asked to provide the following information:
x Location of existing bicycle facilities
o On-road
o Off-road
x Location of proposed bicycle facilities
o On-road
o Off-road
Existing facilities are those that have already been built and
are officially designated as a bike route through signage
and/or pavement striping. Proposed facilities are those that
are proposed or pending construction. No distinction was
made between facilities that have funding for construction
versus those that do not.
The bicycle facilities were further defined into two
classifications: on-road and off-road. An on-road facility is
defined as one that shares the road with motorized traffic.
This bicycle facility is signed as a bicycle route and/or the
travel lane is striped for bicycles. An off-road facility has its
own right of way which is separated from motorized traffic. Off
road facilities can be paved or dirt trails.
Cross County Connection also surveyed the County of Cape
May, the South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization
(SJTPO) and NJDOT’s statewide inventory. The SJTPO and
NJDOT provided information on bicycle facilities of statewide
significance. The information from these sources was
Cross County Connection
compared to the municipal information. When conflicting or
incomplete information was found, Cross County Connection
contacted municipal and county representatives to correct the
data; thus all parties received up-to-date information. In most
cases, the municipality has approval authority for the
construction of new bicycle facilities. If the municipal
information conflicted with NJDOT, SJTPO or County
information, priority was given to the information provided by
the municipality.
The emphasis of this study is on the identification of bicycle
facilities for commuting purposes. Cross County Connection’s
inventory does not include closed loop systems, such as bike
facilities in a local park. These recreational facilities were not
included in the analysis, unless they could be opened and
connected to a regional facility.
INVENTORY FINDINGS
After analyzing the data collected, Cross County Connection
used its Geographic Information System (GIS) to create the
bicycle facilities inventory. Cross County Connection found
that 15 of the 16 municipalities in Cape May County had
existing or proposed bicycle facilities suitable for commuting.
The Borough of West Wildwood does not contain any existing
or proposed bicycle facilities. It should be noted that eight
towns stated that they have no existing or proposed facilities;
however the State Plan has proposed facilities within these
municipalities.
The existing and proposed facilities represent approximately
119 miles, broken into 52 segments, as shown in Table 1 and
as mapped on Figure 1. Approximately, 67% of the 119 miles
of facilities are proposed. Currently, there are 28 existing

SUMMARY

As Figure 1 demonstrates, Cape May County has a proposed

network of bicycle facilities that forms a good network for most
County residents. With the exception of West Wildwood
Borough, each municipality has one or more proposed
facilities traversing it. Cape May County has several proposed
bicycle facilities in Dennis, Lower and Middle Townships.
Additionally, several facilities are clustered in the southern
section of the County along Route 9. Additional routes are
proposed along Routes 47, 49 and 50.

These proposed facilities link to one another and to NJ

TRANSIT bus routes serving the County. Once these facilities
are built county residents, employees and visitors will be able
to bike to most areas of the County. However beach areas,
such as Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalon and Stone Harbor,
are not connected to existing and proposed facilities in the rest
of the County.

Many of the proposed facilities appear on the State’s Bicycle

Plan but are not part of any municipal plan. Municipal support
of these proposed facilities must be obtained if they are to be
constructed.

Given the limited financial resources that may be available to

construct this bicycle facility network, a prioritization system
should be put into place to ensure that those facilities with the
most benefit will be built first. Phase II of Cross County
Connections’ bicycle facility project does this; and is discussed
in chapters 3 and 4.

3. BICYCLE FACILITY RANKING ANALYSIS
To identify those bicycle facilities that should be built in the
near future, Cross County Connection developed a set of
ranking criteria and applied each criterion to the bicycle facility
inventory. The purpose of ranking criteria is to determine
which facilities are most suitable for commuter usage. The
criteria are as follows:
1. Proximity to commuter roadways
2. Number of New Jersey TRANSIT bus routes within two
miles
3. Proximity to business parks
4. Number of schools within two miles
RANKING CRITERIA
For each criterion, a set of values or points was established.
Criteria one and four are assigned from zero to four points
while criteria two and three have been weighted and are
assigned from two to six points, equaling a possible 20 points
for each bicycle facility. A score of zero shows that a
particular criterion is least conducive to bicycle usage. For
example, a zero in Criterion One would indicate that a facility
is more than two miles from the commuter roadways. A score
of four or six in a particular criterion shows that the facility is
most conducive to bicycle usage. For example, in Criterion
Two a score of six would indicate that a facility is within two
miles of more than five NJ TRANSIT bus routes.
Cross County Connection
Criterion One: Proximity to Commuter Roadways
Routes 9, 47, 49, 50, 52, 83, 109, 147, 601, 623, 625 and 657
were chosen as the attractors in this criterion. They serve as
the major transportation arteries through Cape May County,
thus allowing access to most areas throughout the study area.
Therefore, the closer a bicycle facility is to one of these roads,
the more attractive the facility will be as a commuter corridor
for bicyclists. The Garden State Parkway was not considered
an attractor because New Jersey law places restricted use on
the Garden State Parkway, thus prohibiting bicyclists and
pedestrians on this roadway.
Cross County Connection identified the bicycle facilities within
a two mile buffer of the identified commuter roadways. As
shown in Table 2, those facilities that fell within the two mile
buffer were then scored based on their distance from the
roadway.

Bicycle Facilities Inventory and Analysis: Cape May County
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Criterion Two: Proximity to New Jersey TRANSIT Bus
Routes
The number of NJ TRANSIT routes within a two mile buffer of
the bicycle facility was selected as a criterion because a
bicyclist linking with a bus route has access to a much larger
geographic area for employment. All NJ TRANSIT buses have
bicycle racks. In addition, the number of routes is important
because a bicyclist can ride along a bicycle facility to an
intersect point with a NJ TRANSIT bus, put the bicycle on the
bike rack and ride to their stop. Upon reaching their stop, the
bicyclist can then take the bicycle off of the bus and ride to
their destination. Therefore, the number of bus routes would
help to determine the usage of a particular bicycle facility as a
commuter route. Table 3 shows how the bicycle facilities were
scored based on the distance to bus routes.

Criterion Three: Proximity to Employment Destinations
Bicycle facilities benefit from being within two miles of an
employment destination because of increased proximity to
employment opportunities. If an employment destination is
along or in proximity to a bicycle facility, then the usage of the
bicycle facility as a commuter route would most likely increase.
When combined with other modes of transport, such as buses
that have bicycle racks, commuters could arrive at their
employment sites by combining different modes of
transportation and incorporate the bicycle facility into the
overall transportation network.
The employment destinations in Cape May County were
identified using county maps, the New Jersey Department of
Labor and Workforce Development employers’ database, the
Cape May County Department of Planning and Development
and local knowledge and experience. The bicycle facilities
were scored as shown in Table 4.

Criterion Four: Number of Schools within Two Miles
The number of schools within a two mile buffer was selected
as a criterion to encourage students to use bicycles to
commute to school. When considered along with government
spending on programs such as the Safe Routes to Schools
Initiative, schools are becoming a significant attractor for
alternative modes of commuting. Including this criterion allows
Cross County Connection to account for a growing number of
commuters. At the present time, approximately 25% of
morning traffic is school related. The bicycle facilities were
scored as shown in Table 6.

FINDINGS
Each facility was scored and ranked based on the above
criteria. Fifteen of the sixteen municipalities have at least one
existing or proposed bicycle facility; the Borough of West
Wildwood does not indicate any existing or proposed facilities.
The facilities ranged in score from a low of 0 to a high of 18.0.
The highest possible score is 20.0, which shows that the
bicycle facility is most conducive to commuting. The lowest
possible score is a 0 which shows that the bicycle facility is
Cross County Connection
least conducive to commuting. The average score amongst
the 52 facilities is 11.0. The facilities that scored at or above
the average score are located in seven municipalities, as
shown on Table 6. Table 6 shows the average score of all
bicycle facilities that received a score of 11.0 or higher.
As Table 6 shows, the range of scores at or above the
average varies from a low of 12.0 to a high of 17.0.

3 North Wildwood City 14.0
4 Lower Township 13.0
5 Middle Township 13.0
6 Wildwood Crest Borough 13.0
7 Cape May City 12.0
This analysis also examined the overall scores of each bicycle
facility in each municipality. The overall score is comprised of
the individual scores of all of the existing and proposed
facilities within the municipality thus indicating the volume of
facilities in the municipality; the higher the overall score, the
greater the number of facilities in the municipality. As Table 7
shows, Middle Township surpasses all other municipalities
with an overall score of 148 while the next fourteen
municipalities range from a score of 93 to 8. Sixty-seven
percent of the reported bicycle facilities in Cape May County
are proposed while thirty-three percent are existing facilities.

thought it important to analyze existing and proposed bicycle
facilities linking to employment destinations not only within the
County, but outside the County, as well.

Bicycle Facilities Inventory and Analysis: Cape May County
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
The proposed facilities connecting with bus routes 313 and
315 scored above average in the ranking process. The
proposed facility along Route 50 which parallels bus route 315
into Cape May and Atlantic Counties had a score of 13.0. This
on-road facility is of regional importance since it connects with
proposed bicycle facilities in Cape May and Atlantic Counties,
providing access to key employments destinations. A bicyclist
could use this proposed route to connect with bus route 315,
502, 553 and 554 to reach numerous locations in Atlantic
County. The Route 50 bicycle facility is one of the few
proposed facilities linking the northern section of Cape May
County to Atlantic County.
Cape May County has several proposed bicycle facilities in
Dennis, Lower and Middle Townships that connect with bus
route 313. Portions of Delsea Drive (Route 47) parallel NJ
TRANSIT Route 313. These facilities link Cape May County to
Cumberland County.
The proposed facility along Route 49 in Upper Township
scored below average with a score of 6.0. This proposed
facility scored below average due to a lack of employment
destinations in close proximity to the facility and because it
only connects with one bus route. Atlantic, Cape May and
Cumberland Counties have a proposed facility along Route 49.
The proposed Route 49 facility in Cape May County will
provide access to multiple employment centers in Cumberland
County, as well as bus routes and schools.
Cross County Connection
SUMMARY
Thirty-five existing and proposed bicycle facilities, out of a total
of 52 facilities, scored above the average of 11.0. As stated
above, these bicycle facilities are located in proximity to
existing commuter attractors. Cape May County has a large
number of existing facilities that make the county highly
suitable for building proposed facilities to complement the
existing network. The proposed facilities will fill the gaps
within the established network by improving the mobility and
accessibility of users throughout Cape May County.
The Cape May County bicycle network will play an important
role in connecting the neighboring counties of Atlantic and
Cumberland. The proposed facilities travel along the road
network, and connect with NJ TRANSIT bus routes that take
commuters into Atlantic and Cumberland Counties. These
counties support a significant number of employment
opportunities for Cape May County residents. Given the public
transit connections into these counties, it is reasonable to
assume that a strong bicycle network in Cape May County will
be attractive to many residents seeking employment outside of
Cape May County.
Cross County Connection believes that funding the
construction of the identified proposed facilities is a next step
to improving the bicycle network in Cape May County for
commuting purposes. Therefore the need to assist the
municipalities to obtain funding and complete their proposed
facilities is the priority. Cross County Connection believes that
this is the next step in making Cape May County attractive as
an alternative commuting location for visitors and residents.

4. PROPOSED BICYCLE FACILITIES RECOMMENDED
FOR CONSTRUCTION
Of the original 35 existing and proposed bicycle facilities that
scored at or above the average, 19 are proposed and are
located in eight municipalities. These facilities are located
close to several attractors, therefore giving them the greatest
potential to improve the regional bicycle commuting network, if
constructed. Although other proposed facilities have the
potential to improve the regional bicycle commuting network,
their lower ranking and limited overall funding determined that
they not be recommended for construction at this time.
Cross County Connection recommends that the proposed
facilities shown in Table 9 be considered immediately for
implementation. The construction of these facilities will
provide improved access to employment destinations for
commuters who want to bike to work. Appendix B provides
detailed maps for the 19 proposed bicycle facilities that
received a score of 11.0 or higher under the ranking process.
In addition to the location of the proposed facility, information
is also provided on the bicycle facility’s ranked score and
attractors which make the facility a good candidate for
construction. Each facility can be found on Figure 4, which
also provides a county-wide view of the proposed facilities
recommended for construction. Table 9 lists the name and
location of the proposed facilities and is keyed to the maps in
Appendix B.
According to the South Jersey Transportation Planning
Organization (SJTPO), projected population growth in Cape
May County is estimated to grow by 16,724 or 14% from 2005
to 2035. In the same timeframe, employment growth is
Cross County Connection
expected to increase by 9,154 or 16%.2 Both factors are
important in determining the number of new proposed facilities
to be built. New facilities will provide improved transportation
alternatives that will significantly help municipalities diversify
their modes of transportation and their availability to improve
existing bicycle facilities.
As Figure 4 shows, the common denominators to determine
attractors in Cape May County comprise of seven bus routes,
38 schools and 16 employment destinations. Connectivity with
bus routes will encourage commuters to combine both
bicycling and public transportation to travel throughout Cape
May County.
Linkages to neighboring counties are an essential factor when
expanding the bicycle system beyond the county corridor.
During the analysis, the proposed Route 50 bicycle facility was
identified as a link to Atlantic County. This on-road facility will
connect with proposed facilities in Atlantic County, as well as,
numerous NJ TRANSIT bus routes. Proposed facilities along
Route 47 (Delsea Drive) in Dennis, Middle and Lower
Townships will connect to an existing facility in Cumberland
County. Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland Counties have
also proposed facilities along Route 49. These facilities will
provide access to multiple employment destinations in Atlantic
and Cumberland Counties.

Bicycle Facilities Inventory and Analysis: Cape May County
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY

Eight municipalities have proposed bicycle facilities that

scored at or above average in the bicycle ranking system. The
proposed facilities were identified as high ranking because of
their proximity to the attractors.
Cape May County possesses a high number of existing bicycle
facilities, employment destinations and other attractors that,
together with increases in projected population and
employment, make the County’s bicycle network suitable for
improving both transportation mobility and effectiveness.
Cross County Connection recommends funding the proposed
facilities because they will provide modes of alternative
transportation for commuters in Cape May County. When
linked to bicycle facilities and bus routes serving the
neighboring counties, these facilities can provide a regional
bicycle transportation network established through a
coordinated planning effort between county and municipal
governments.

Cross County Connection 18 May 2008

Bicycle Facilities Inventory and Analysis: Cape May County
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
5. CONCLUSION
This analysis has identified 19 proposed bicycle facilities that
could be considered for construction. To be considered for
state funding, the municipalities must initiate certain steps
before applying for funding. The completion of these steps
may better position the municipalities for state-funded
technical assistance and funding to build the facilities.
BICYCLE TASK FORCE
First, a bicycle task force or committee should be established
to oversee the planning effort. The task force should consist
of community leaders, citizens, local, county, regional and
state representatives and officials and planning and
engineering officials, and other identified stakeholders. The
goal of this task force should be to develop and design a
bicycle Plan for the municipality. The Plan should identify
priority areas for implementing bicycle facilities. These areas
should be based on a plan that accommodates bicyclists
throughout the community as well as enables them to connect
to bicycle and public transit facilities outside the community.
Recommendations should be both site specific (an
intersection) and non site specific, such as installing bicycle
friendly drainage grates. The NJDOT can provide technical
assistance to those municipalities and counties that want to
create a bicycle plan (refer to Appendix B).
Cross County Connection
PLANNING TOOLS
To ensure implementation of the Task Force Bicycle Plan,
local planning tools should be in place and compatible with the
Plan. It is recommended that municipalities and counties
review their planning documents to ensure that they not only
permit bicycle and pedestrian facilities, but encourage or even
require their construction. At a minimum, the municipal Master
Plan should include a Bicycle/Pedestrian Element that outlines
a bicycle network within the municipality. Consideration
should be given to providing linkages to existing and proposed
bicycle facilities in neighboring municipalities as well as to
employment destinations and public transit stops.
Additionally, the municipal land development ordinance should
be amended to include requirements for bicycle and
pedestrian facilities. Standards for bicycle facilities and
sidewalks should be specified in the ordinance. These
standards should be in accordance with the New Jersey Site
Improvements Standards and the planning and design
guidelines found in NJDOT’s Bicycle Compatible Roadways
and Bikeways report. 3 Ensuring that local planning
documents permit and encourage bicycle facilities
demonstrates the local government’s support of and
commitment to developing a viable bicycle network within the
community. This support and commitment is necessary to
ensure success.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Funding for bicycle facilities in New Jersey is provided
primarily through NJDOT under its Local Aid program and at
the federal level through the Transportation Enhancements
(TE) program. Funding through both programs is awarded
annually through a highly competitive process. Demand for
these funds far exceeds the funding available. The State’s
bikeways program provides funds to municipalities and
counties for the construction of bicycle projects. According to
the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, from 2000 to 2005,
New Jersey municipalities submitted applications through this
program totaling $157 million; however less than $39 million
has been awarded because of the funding shortfall.
The same is true under the federal TE program. In 2003 and
2004, New Jersey municipalities submitted 367 applications
totaling almost $200 million for bicycle and pedestrian projects.
However, New Jersey’s federal funding allocation only enabled
the State to approve 46 projects totaling $18.4 million. 4 Given
the highly competitive funding picture, municipalities and
counties must have extremely strong grant applications.
It is Cross County Connection’s hope that those municipalities
and counties that seek funding to fill in the gaps that are
identified and prioritized in southern New Jersey’s bicycle
network will have a greater chance of receiving funding. Refer

funding and planning assistance for bicycle projects.
SUMMARY
This project has documented the existing and proposed
bicycle facilities in Cape May County and provided a ranking
process to prioritize those facilities that should be constructed
initially. This inventory will be updated periodically to reflect
changes made at the local and county level. Cape May
County and its municipalities have made good progress
towards proposing a bicycle network that links to public transit
and provides inter-county connections. The ground work has
been laid, and a solid foundation established, however there is
considerable opportunity in Cape May County to improve the
County’s bicycle network, through implementation of these
proposed bicycle facilities.
A region-wide bicycle network will improve the quality of life of
southern New Jersey’s residents and provide greater
economic development opportunities. By working together as
a region, southern New Jersey will be better positioned to
attract federal and state funds for the implementation of
bicycle facilities.
