Hudson County Complete Streets works at the intersection of safe streets and the climate crisis. With more than 50% of trips under three miles nationally, creating safe, sustainable infrastructure for bicycle riders, pedestrians, and users of other mobility devices is an essential step to reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to transportation. Hudson County Complete Streets advocates for equitable access to transportation systems for everyone regardless of income, age, race, gender, background, or ability, and regardless of the mode of travel.
