  • Rail & Road to Recovery
    RAIL & ROAD TO RECOVERY April 2020 Tri-State Transportation Campaign BlueWaveNJ Clean Water Action Environment New Jersey New Jersey Policy Perspective New Jersey Sierra Club SUMMARY Transit and environmental advocates strongly oppose the New Jersey Turnpike Authority’s unprecedented 2020 Capital Plan, which will direct $16 billion toward road expansion projects. The $24 billion capital plan calls for more than 50 major projects to be undertaken on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway in rolling, five-year increments. Thirteen of these projects will ultimately widen over 100 miles of roadway on the Turnpike and Parkway, and none of the projects would allow for any transit expansion or incorporate a transit component. This proposed capital program directly contradicts the state’s Energy Master Plan, released in January after a year-long process, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition the state to 100% clean energy sources by 2050, with an emphasis on expanding public transportation options and reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT). In contrast, Rail and Road to Recovery, our alternative capital plan, highlights 27 unfunded mass transit projects totaling over $25.8 billion that would create 1.28 million jobs that should be funded with the $16 billion currently slated for highway expansion. NJTA’s plan also doesn’t take getting the state’s roads and bridges into a state of good repair seriously --36% of the state’s highways are deficient (rough and/or distressed), 529 bridges are structurally deficient and 2,367 are in need of repair. The price tag for unfunded fix-it-first projects is over $10 billion --at least $8.6 billion for bridges and $679 million for just the top 500 state road projects over the next few years, which doesn’t even include needed repairs to the far larger network of local and county roads.

    200 Piermont Avenue Hillsdale, New Jersey 07642 PASCACK VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL Telephone (201) 358-7060 Pascack Valley Regional High School District Email: www.pascack.k12.nj.us Thomas DeMaio John Puccio Principal Assistant Principal Debra Squiccimarri Assistant Principal Pascack Valley Regional High School: Parent - School Compact The success of the students in Pascack Valley Regional High School’s HSPA Support program is largely dependent upon the collective efforts of the students, teachers and students. Because this support structure is funded through Title IA funds of the No Child Left Behind Act, the district must form a student –parent –school compact that outlines the responsibilities of each party. Each parent and student is encouraged to review this outline of shared responsibilities. School Responsibilities: 1. Pascack Valley High School will provide high-quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment that enables all children to meet New Jersey’s academic standards. Students identified as needing assistance will receive additional support through a HSPA support class that will specifically target the needs of the individual students in the class. 2. Pascack Valley High School will hold an annual parent –school meeting to educate parents on techniques that they can use to better support their children as they prepare to take the appropriate New Jersey Performance Assessments. 3. Pascack Valley High School will communicate with parents throughout the year regarding the student’s academic progress. 4. Pascack Valley High School will allow parents to be active participants in the school building. With permission of the principal, parents may volunteer to participate in school activities and observe their child’s classroom activities.

BOX 991 TRENTON, NJ 08625-0991 609-943-5955 For More Information: Andrea Pasquine – (609) 858-2902 October 10, 2014 Christie Administration Announces Pascack Valley Regional High School District to Receive $913,443 in Grant Funding from the New Jersey Schools Development Authority Trenton, NJ - Furthering the Christie Administration’s commitment to support critical school improvement projects in New Jersey, the Schools Development Authority (SDA) today announced that five grants have recently been executed for the Pascack Valley Regional High School District through the SDA’s Regular Operating District (ROD) grant program. Grant execution signifies completion of the application process and the start of funding being issued to school districts through the SDA’s ROD grant program. In May 2013, Governor Christie announced the largest single grant offering in the program’s history, making approximately half a billion dollars in funding available for projects throughout the state’s 559 Regular Operating Districts and 21 County Vocational Technical School Districts across New Jersey. The Department of Education, who determines the selection of school projects to receive grant funds, has approved more than 1,600 ROD Grant projects in 335 school districts throughout the state for this allocation. Between state and local contributions, the total project costs of the eligible projects are estimated to exceed $1.2 billion, representing significant benefit not only to the children served by the state’s public schools but also to the economy and construction industry as this important work advances. The projects in Pascack Valley Regional High School District represent $2,283,607 in total estimated costs including state grants of $913,443 which leverages the local contribution of $1,370,164.
