01
Safer school travel
More kids walking, biking, scootering, and e-biking to school — with routes, crossings, and arrival areas that families can actually trust.
New Providence, New Jersey
Safer routes for everyday trips.
Bike Walk New Providence is a local resource for families and neighbors working to make walking, biking, and e-biking safer, easier, and more normal for everyday trips around town.
Bikes parked in front of the town pool in June
Dozens of children and adults bike to local recreational facilities despite absent bike infrastructure, requiring children to either ride on the sidewalk or share congested streets with vehicles on county roads.
What we're focused on
02
Better crossings & sidewalk connections
Small, specific fixes to the crossings and missing sidewalk segments that quietly push every trip into a car.
03
Practical bike routes for families
A connected, low-stress network linking neighborhoods to schools, downtown, parks, the library, and transit.
Why this matters
Most of our trips are already short.
New Providence is compact, relatively flat, and full of short local trips — to school, downtown, parks, the library, transit, and recreation. For many families, the barrier isn't distance. It's confidence in street safety.
This is not anti-car
Most families will still need to drive much of the time. The goal is to make walking and biking safer and more realistic for short local trips — so residents have more options, not fewer.
