jerseyschools.com/ Robert Wood Johnson Foundation The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) invests in grantees (e.g., public agencies, universities, and public charities) that are working to improve the health of all Americans. Current or past projects in the topic area “walking and biking” include greenway plans, trail projects, advocacy initiatives, and policy development. New Jersey Health Initiatives (www.njhi.org/) is the statewide grant making program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. New Jersey Health Initiatives supports innovations and drives conversations to build healthier communities through grant making across New Jersey. www.rwjf.org/ WEST ORANGE TOWNSHIP: VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN 135

The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation provides funding for Arts, Education, Environment and Informed Communities initiatives that are innovative and promote collaboration and community-driven decision making. Recipients may include nonprofit, community, government, and business leaders. http://www.grdodge.org/what-we-fund/ Other Funding Sources Impact Fees Regulated by subdivision polices, impact fees require residential, industrial and commercial development project leaders to provide sites, improvements, and/or funds to support public amenities such as open space and trails. Impact fees may be allocated to a particular trail or greenway from land development projects if the fund is a dedicated set-aside account established to help develop a county- or municipality-wide system of trails or pedestrian/bicycle infrastructure facilities. County and Municipal Capital Programs All New Jersey counties and many New Jersey municipalities have an Open Space Trust Fund, which is a dedicated program supporting open space land acquisition. The trust funds are established by ballot measure. Depending on the fund parameters, other development projects can be eligible including trails, historical preservation, and farmland protection. https://tpl.quickbase.com/db/bbqna2qct?a=dbpage&pageID=8 County and Municipal Open Space Trust Funds In the case where alternative funds are not available but there is community consensus and political will to move forward with a project, county and municipal capital programs should be considered. Local budgets may have the ability to support some projects, especially if other state and federal programs provide budget relief in other areas. 136 WEST ORANGE TOWNSHIP: VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN

APPENDIX D: OVERALL HIN CORRIDOR LIST This appendix includes the entire list of High-Injury Network segments in West Orange based on the crash and equity analysis. The project team developed the HIN using the Safer Streets Priority tool by Toole Design Group that utilizes a sliding window analysis to develop high-injury corridors for pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles (or other crashes). The sliding window analysis uses a 1/2 mile window and 1/10th mile increment across all corridors to identify high-injury crash concentration for each segment of roads in West Orange. The HIN score assigns a higher weight to the most severe crashes. The HIN score is calculated by multiplying the number of Fatal (K) and Incapacitating Injury (A) crashes by 3, and multiplying the number of Non-Incapacitating Injury (B) crashes by 1. Once the weights are established and applied to the crashes, the total number of crashes are aggregated along a corridor while incorporating the crash severity weighting. Possible Injury (C) crashes and Property Damage Only (O) crashes are not reflected. Separate weighted HINs were developed for each mode (pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle) based on different thresholds. The Pedestrian HIN includes all segments with a score of 1 or greater and covers ~17 miles or 10% of West Orange roads. The Bicyclist HIN includes all segments with a score of 1 of greater and covers ~8 miles or 5% of West Orange roads. The Vehicular HIN includes all segments with a score of 5 or greater and covers ~22 miles or 13% of West Orange roads. The combined HIN included all three of the individual-mode HINs and covers about ~34 miles or 20% of all West Orange roads. The team then developed an environmetal justice score to identify which network segments should be prioritized based on equity factors. All HIN network segments were given a composite score based on the highest average score for each factor. As noted in the report, the project team then developed the final HIN score by combining the EJ composite score and the HIN crash score.
