Cape May County Local Road Safety Plan
About the Project
The South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization (SJTPO), the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem Counties, is managing the development and implementation of Countywide Local Road Safety Plans (LRSPs) for each County.
The Cape May County LRSP will address unique safety needs on county and municipal roads through extensive data analysis and stakeholder engagement. The Plan will create a prioritized list of issues, risks, actions, and improvements to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on local roads, as well as aid in securing state and federal funding for these initiatives. Learn how you can engage with the Plan and build consensus on safety strategies at the Cape May County Events page.

Project Overview
Project Background
In 2020, New Jersey conducted a comprehensive update to its statewide Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). This plan was developed through collaboration among stakeholders across the state and examined emphasis areas such as intersections, driver behavior, lane departure, pedestrian and bicycle conditions, equity, and other key issues identified through crash data and stakeholder engagement.
The Cape May County Local Road Safety Plan is intended to build on the foundation established by the current SHSP. Separate Countywide Local Road Safety Plans are also to be prepared for Atlantic, Cumberland, and Salem Counties. These plans will provide the basis for a customized implementation of safety countermeasures across each county, at both the county and municipal levels.
