- Agudah of NJ calls on the community to reach out to Trenton for an increase in transportation funding for mandated students which will give more money to thr LSTA. The per-pupil amount for nonpublic transportation is $1,022.00  agudah says that Given the fact that legislation was enacted in 2003 with the Consumer Price Index figure, the amount each eligible student receives should be at least $1,300.00. Therefore, we are asking for an increase of at least $280.00 per pupil to a minimum of $1.300.00 in an attempt to get more transportation for our children. Truthfuly there is no student eligible for mandated busing who is not getting transportation. Secondly the LSTA rsised the price on non mandated courtesy to $260 per student will that price come down if there's a funding increase? The answer is most probably No. There was also no action alert to provide hazardous bussing for thousands of Lakewood kids who are getting charged by the LSTA even though it is too dangerous for them to walk to school.

 - Significant changes will happen on the Garden State Parkway between miles 80 and 83 as exits are renumbered and lanes and offramps are altered. The New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which also oversees the Parkway, put out the plan, asking for feedback from drivers. One of the biggest changes is that there will be a “Collector-Distributor roadway.” This is a few lanes in each direction, separated from the rest of the Parkway by a median. Drivers getting onto the Parkway will first be on this Collector-Distributor until either they get off at another Toms River stop or go on to the rest of the Parkway.
