SUMMARY:TNJ Institute: Neighborhood Empowerment Models
DESCRIPTION:Neighborhood Empower Models: Crime Prevention and Beyond \nStrategies and opportunities for neighborhood improvements are available through a variety of programs and formats. But it takes high quality community engagement and leadership to put strategies into action and create vibrant places where people want to live\, work and visit.  Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a community problem-solving approach that brings together law enforcement\, city planners\, residents and local stakeholders to assess a neighborhood’s vulnerabilities to crime and collaboratively develop meaningful solutions. Community members can become leaders by self-organizing within a multi-disciplinary team to work ahead of or in tandem with local government rather than waiting for government-led projects. Good lighting and community-driven design and maintenance of public spaces are just a couple examples of how communities can help deter crime and make members of the community feel safer. \nThis workshop will go beyond training participants in crime prevention concepts. It will demonstrate how the CPTED process provides a model for empowering members of the community within a self-guided process for problem identification\, development of solutions\, and executing physical and social changes in their environments. \nWhen: Thursday\, December 5\, 2019 \nSnow Date (if needed):  Wednesday\, December 11\, 2019 \nWhere: NJTPA Board Room\, 1 Newark Center\, 17th Floor\, Newark\, NJ \nPROGRAM OUTLINE \n8:30 to 9:00:  Registration \n9:00 to 9:15:  Welcome and Introductions \n\nSPEAKER: Lois Goldman\, Director of Long Range Transportation Planning\, North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority\n\n9:15 to 10:00:  The Evolution of CPTED and Community Engagement \n\nSPEAKER: Matthew Perkins\, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC)\n\n10:00 to 10:15:  Break \n10:15 to 11:40:  Community Engagement Through the CPTED Process \n\nSPEAKERS:\n\nActive Transportation and Equity – Charles Brown\, Alan M.

SUMMARY:Efficient Task Force Meeting
DESCRIPTION:As you may recall\, the Together North Jersey Forum originally schedule for March 20\, 2020 was canceled due to the outbreak of COVID-19.  Since the stay-at-home order is still in effect (but time is moving on!) we have decided to plan a series of virtual Task Force meeting in its place. \nThese virtual task force meetings will cover much of the same content as the TNJ Forum\, albeit with a VERY abbreviated “plenary” presentation (we’re talking 5 minutes abbreviated) by Jon Carnegie.  The bulk of the time will be devoted to what would have been the “breakout sessions” for the Task Forces.  The meeting will include a discussion of current work underway in the Task Forces\, as well as a look forward at the upcoming Together North Jersey Reexamination process scheduled to begin this summer.  This process will assess how our region has changed since the original plan was completed in 2015 (hint: a lot has changed!) and how we can adapt the plan’s priorities an goals to continue to implement a sustainable future for our region.  This work is more important than ever and we hope you’ll join us and reengage! \nThe next meeting of the Efficient Task Force will take place on May 6\, 2020 at 10am.  If you are interested in attending please email Miriam Salerno at miriam.salerno@ejb.rutgers.edu for login information. \nAgenda forthcoming.
