Sustainable Jersey Certification Changes, Deadlines, and How RideWise can Help

Sustainable Jersey recently announced changes to its certification cycle, changing its first submission deadline to February 26. There will still be an opportunity for three rounds of submission and review. Municipalities certified as part of the 2020 certification cycle (expiring for the first time in 2023), that feel this change would impact their 2023 recertification efforts, can request a one-year extension on their certification.

RideWise assists municipalities with several Sustainable Jersey actions, specifically related to EVs, Complete Streets, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and placemaking:

Land Use & Transportation
– Complete & Green Streets for All – 10 to 30 points
– Bicycle/Pedestrian Audits – 10 points for a complete audit, 5 points for just a bike or just a walk audit
– Bicycle/Pedestrian Plan – 10 points
– Bicycle and/or Pedestrian Improvement Projects – 10 to 25 points
– Transit-Oriented Development Supportive Zoning – 20 points
– Smart Workplaces – 5 to 10 points

Health & Wellness
– Building Healthier Communities: Mayor’s Wellness Campaign – Up to 20 points
– Anti-Idling Education & Enforcement Program – 10 points
– Safe Routes to School – 10 points

Energy – Transportation Initiatives
– Electric Vehicle Community Outreach – 10-15 points
– Make Your Town Electric Vehicle Friendly – 15 points
– Public Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure – 15 points
