Need for Advocacy

The New Jersey East Coast Greenways is calling for advocacy! Tell NJ legislators: Don’t cut funding for walking, biking and greenways.

To grow the East Coast Greenway and other walking and biking infrastructure in New Jersey, we need funding from the state, especially in this moment when federal funding for these projects is being cut. The proposed FY27 budget that legislators are discussing right now would steeply cut funding to key state programs like Bikeways that give communities the resources they need to build greenways. These spaces are great resources for communities seeking accessibility for disabilities as they are built with accessibility and inclusion for all in mind and follow strict guidelines in their development.

The East Coast Greenway in New Jersey has supplied a form that residents can consider using to reach out to your legislator today. Tell NJ Legislators: Don’t Cut Safe Streets Funding
