"AARP New Jersey commends Governor Murphy for signing legislation to establish the Target Zero Commission, which will evaluate traffic safety and support the design of a transportation system with the goal of eliminating fatal and serious injuries for all road users. AARP has a vested interest in this issue since people 50 and older represented the majority of 2024 pedestrian fatalities.
