The purpose of this project was to examine the relationships between effective national transportation congestion, security, and safety technology transfer applications. Next, a comparison had been made between national trends and the conditions found in New Jersey, and then the most appropriate solution was implemented. When examining the national transportation congestion, security, and safety technology transfer trends, the findings showed that security and congestion were interrelated through safety. Specifically, reduction of roadway crashes, and adjustment of driver behavior and use of safety counter measure applications had impacted both domains. They were similarly reflected in New Jersey with safety being an integral component of security and congestion. As a result, the Safety Conscious Planning (SCP) Model, a comprehensive safety system, had been selected and implemented as the network because it promoted the reduction of crashes that affect the security and congestions of the entire transportation infrastructure in New Jersey. The intended benefit of this implementation effort was realized when funding opportunities, resources, and technical support had reached country and local municipalities, where over sixty percent of the roadway fatalities occur annually. Another gain had been the collective empowerment of a partnership being applied to resolving regional safety issues. Also, SCP facilitated the involvement of local elected officials working together with safety professionals to organize local safety networks in their own communities.
