To promote pedestrian safety within Bernardsville, the Borough of Bernardsville and the Bernardsville Police Department partnered with RideWise to conduct Street Smart campaigns in October 2018, October 2019 and September/October 2022. Alongside the campaigns, RideWise conducted Safe Routes to School programming in Bernards High School, Marion T. Bedwell Elementary School, and the School of St. Elizabeth.
