From NJDOT – Safe Routes to School

The federal-aid SRTS program provides federal-aid highway funds to State Departments of Transportation. The main objectives of the program are:
to enable and encourage children in grades K-8, including those with disabilities, to walk and bicycle to school;
to make bicycling and walking to school a safer and more appealing transportation alternative, thereby encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle from an early age; and,
to facilitate the planning, development and implementation of projects and activities that will improve safety and reduce traffic, fuel consumption and air pollution in the vicinity of schools.
“reduce traffic, fuel consumption and air pollution”
equals anti motor vehicle
equals Bike Lanes
equals “Traffic calming” (aka traffic jams, aka traffic frustration so you take alternate route or better yet use public transportation
equals Behavior modification
.
all of these grants are driven by the agenda to implement the Agenda 21 “utopian vision” – no cars, pack and stack housing (their term) walk to home, work, market, entertainment. (like living in retirement communities (or high cost mental institutions).
the utopian vision drives the grant – the “named benefit” (in this case safe passage to school) is just the MEANS to implement their goals.
All grants should be eliminated; each town should pay for what they need and vote for. With grants your hard earned tax dollars are given to those areas with the greatest influence over State and Federal powers. Why do all have to pay for favors for some? it’s nonsense and when your town says ‘we paid for this with grant money’ they make it seem like it’s free, but it’s not…it’s YOUR tax money.
Bike Lane Chris is committed to this program.
So let me get this straight… you don’t want kids to have safe routes to school? Or active lifestyles? Or better air quality?
sorry but previous Ridgewood bike lane experiments disprove your thesis
“So let me get this straight… you don’t want kids to have safe routes to school? Or active lifestyles? Or better air quality?”
Spending money on useless programs will not achieve these goals… but that tis EXACTLY the INTENTOIN of these grants — NAME them in such a way so uninformed people – like you – will ASSUME they are worthwhile, but in actuality they do nothing to achieve their STATED PURPOSE. The DO, however enforce more control and restrictions on the population to achieve the larger goals of some misguided “clean and controlling” utopia.
But I like the “utopia” they are going for. Difference of opinion I guess.
If people really wanted that utopia then they would willingly pay for it. The fact that a government has to force it upon people is the issue. “You will live the way we say you should live and you will like it because we know better.” is not a free society.
The younger generation is rejecting the suburban model and moving into more urban centers to live. These centers will thrive and we will see a decline of things like malls which are being replaced by Amazon and on line retail operations.
