POP – Protecting Our Pedestrians

Here at NJTRANSIT, we are taking an exciting and innovative approach to educating the public about pedestrian safety on the streets. As one of the leading public transportation agencies in the US, it is our responsibility to educate and inform communities about the importance of pedestrian safety to avoid serious injury or death caused by an accident.  

POP teaches and encourages pedestrian safety for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. This innovative and interactive 45-minute presentation addresses crossing streets and intersections safely, traffic hazards and signals, parking lot safety, and more.
