In November 1998, Freeholder O’Dea roundly defended his seat, obtaining the electorate’s full support, for the remaining one year of the term. Now serving his seventh full term, Freeholder O’Dea is Chairman of the Public Resources Committee, Chairman of the Banking Committee, Trustee of the Hudson County Community College and member of its Board of School Estimate, and a member of the Hudson County Schools of Technology Board of School Estimate. He is also a member of the following committees: Taskforce on the Homeless; Contracts Review; Public Safety; and Environment, Health and Human Services.

He won Gold Key Awards as a top student in criminal justice and in political science. Bill O’Dea knows that politics is, at times, theater. He has actually taken his talents in that direction, and is the author of two plays and six screenplays. He is also the author of the novel, “The Legacy of Haguesville.” Freeholder O’Dea, however, takes his politics very seriously, and served as Executive Director of the Jersey City Democratic Party. He was named to “Who’s Who in International Business” in 2005 and to “Who’s Who in America” in 2006.

  • Fall 2007: Getting It Right
    Fall 2007 TRANSPORTATION ISSUES IN THE NJTPA REGION Projects Making A Difference Getting It Right cross the NJTPA region—13 northern and central New Jersey counties—there are many examples Aof transportation projects “getting it right.” These projects make travel easier and safer for residents, reduce traffic congestion, offer alternatives for daily commutes and encourage sustainable growth. These projects rarely receive the public recognition they deserve, because in the world of transportation, as elsewhere, there often is more focus on things that go wrong rather than things that go right. This issue of Mobility Matters attempts to give a number of these projects their due. Most were not huge headline-grabbers beyond their location and they were certainly not among the most expensive transportation improvements undertaken in the region. However, they stand as good examples of projects that effectively do what they were designed to do—improve the region’s transportation system.
