Clean Air Strategies at NJDOT NJ Clean Air Council Annual Public Hearing April 8, 2014 Andy Swords, NJDOT

Clean Air Strategies for NJDOT AFVs in Our Fleet Traffic Signal Optimization Construction – Materials, Equipment Incentives to Reduce Travel

AFVs in NJDOT’s Fleet NJDOT owns more than 1000 gas powered vehicles ▫54% of fleet is other than standard IC engine (hybrid, ethanol or CNG) ▫Roughly 10% of the gas powered fleet is hybrids, but they are the newest portion of the passenger fleet. NJDOT owns over 2000 diesel engines ▫All are B5 biodiesel capable, but higher cost and limited budget prevents use

Traffic Signals and Technology NJDOT is working to optimize systems of traffic signals throughout the state ▫Reduces idling emissions & delay, improves travel time NJDOT is also exploring Adaptive Signal Control Technology ▫Uses sensors to continuously monitor traffic conditions and adjust signal timing to minimize delay and optimize travel time

Construction - Materials NJDOT requires use of WMA additives for asphalt-rubber* HMA ▫w/o additive – temp of ▫w/additive – temp of 290 – WMA = Warm Mix Asphalt * - incorporates ground rubber into HMA

Construction - Retrofit Governor Christie’s Executive Order 60 requires that 175 pieces of construction equipment be retrofitted Status (as of end of March) ▫148 retrofits completed ▫ 25 more on order ▫ 63 more quoted & approved, not yet ordered Early results indicate that some work zones can avoid PM2.5 exceedances by using retrofits

Incentives to reduce miles driven Encourage Transit-oriented Development (TOD) Car Streets ==> Complete Streets Public Health Partnerships

Transit Village/TOD Successes Strong real estate market for transit oriented development (TOD) ▫Strongest: properties w/in ½ mile walk of train station that offers < 1 hour commute to NYC or NJ rail friendly destinations Number of Designated Transit Villages  2004: 14  2010: 20  2014: 28

Complete Streets Phenomenon NJDOT: #1 Complete Streets Policy in US NJ Municipal Complete Streets Policies ▫a/o Jan 1, 2012: 25 ▫a/o Jan 1, 2013: 62 ▫a/o Jan 1, 2014: 88 ▫+ 2 more so far in 2014  90 total NJ Counties: Camden, Essex, Hudson, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth (6)

Partnership with health agencies Health and transportation agencies – growing partnership to ▫encourage healthy lifestyles ▫minimize impacts on at risk populations Safe Routes to School (SRTS) ▫Reducing hot spots of congestion, emissions near schools

Outlook – Moving Forward Funding constraints = continued competition between worthy policy goals Demand for livable communities is continuing ▫Continue expanding Transit Village, Complete Streets initiatives ▫Nurture, grow partnerships with low cost targeted technical assistance to municipalities
