A weekly roundup of good deeds, missteps, heroic feats and epic failures in tri-state transportation news.

Winners

New York State Senator Jeff Klein and New York State Assembly Member Deborah Glick — Both Klein and Glick served as legislative champions for the recently enacted speed camera pilot program legislation, which was shepherded through the New York State Legislature late last week.

Point Pleasant Borough Council Member Chris Leitner — Council member Chris Leitner led the Borough’s efforts to secure placement in NJDOT’s Complete Streets program.

US Representatives Doris Matsui and David Joyce — A bipartisan bill, the Safe Streets Act of 2013, introduced by Reps. Doris Matsui (D-CA) and David Joyce (R-OH), “would require states and regional planning agencies to develop complete streets policies for federally funded projects within two years.”

New York City Pedestrians — New Yorkers hate to admit that they are lost, so the New York City Department of Transportation unveiled WalkNYC, and took an important step towards ridding city pedestrians of this unwelcome embarrassment.

Losers

Fort Lee, New Jersey — Pedestrians continue to die on Fort Lee roads, but the Town has done little to address this public health crisis beyond ticketing pedestrians and motorists. These actions, while welcome, are no replacement for a coordinated “Complete Streets” effort from the Town that redesigns roads for the safety of all users.

New York State Senator Andrew Lanza — During last week’s successful Senate Transportation Committee confirmation hearing for MTA Chairman Tom Prendergast, Senator Lanza issued a six-minute long speech complaining about the flashing lights of New York City’s Select Bus Service (SBS). This occurred despite the fact that those lights have helped speed up commute times and grow ridership on SBS routes.
