About

Roads in Ocean County are incredibly dangerous. In 2025, 62 members of Ocean County communities were taken away in fatal car crashes. The way our roads are constructed allow more of these crashes to occur. While bad drivers will always exist, we could be doing things to prevent these crashes that we are not doing. Changes like roundabouts in the correct places, thinner lanes, and better speed enforcement would make driving in Ocean County safer and more reliable.

Ocean County is served by the states NJTransit bus and train service, and the county's OceanRide bus service. NJT handles long distance commutes out of OC, leaving OceanRide to fill the gap of a local bus. This leaves large gaps in service and frequency that leaves much to be desired. Improvements to frequency, stops, signage, rider experience, and scheduling would all make bus travel a more reliable option for riders.

Walking and Biking infrastructure in extremely limited in Ocean County. Protected bike lanes, walking trails, and better signage for pedestrians would make it significantly safer to get around to places that are normally only easily accessible by car. Not only is this safer, but it would improve quality of life for residents of Ocean County everywhere. Walkable, downtown districts are already some of the most frequented areas of the county. Why not bring more of that design philosophy around the area? 

We have seen an abundance of housing projects spring up across Ocean County in the last decade. Our population has significantly increased. There is continual demand for new development in Ocean County. If we must continue to build, we need to consider mixed use and transit oriented development at a higher rate. This would allow for the developments to benefit residents already living in Ocean County as well as new residents.
