KMM Annual Meeting – May 15, 2019
Over 125 people attended the 31st Annual Membership Meeting of Keep Middlesex Moving, Inc. (KMM) to hear New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development Commissioner Robert Asaro-Angelo share his insight on the partnership between transportation and our labor/workforce development in Middlesex County and NJ. The May 15th meeting took place at the Forsgate Country Club.
Forty-four Middlesex County companies received the prestigious 2019 NJ Smart Workplaces Award. These awards honor companies for their outstanding achievements in providing commute alternative opportunities for their employees, thus reducing traffic and congestion and improving air quality.
“KMM’s programs promote mobility, safety, and sustainability. But these programs can only be implemented with the help of our partners, like the employers we are honoring with Smart Workplace Awards,” said KMM’s Executive Director William Neary.
2019 sponsors included CME Associates, Johnson& Johnson, Magyar Bank, and GoCentralNJ.
In addition, KMM recognized six Middlesex County schools and three municipalities in the NJ Safe Route to School Recognition Program, part of NJDOT’s statewide Safe Routes to School program. The awards are given based on their commitment and involvement in the Safe Routes to School program. This year, twenty schools achieved First Step, five achieved Bronze, and two achieved Silver level recognition.
“The NJ SRTS Recognition Program is a way for KMM to thank our school and municipal partners for their hard work throughout the year making it safer and easier for children and their families to walk and bike to school. We hope that our combined efforts can create a better neighborhood not just for schoolchildren, but for everyone who lives, walks, and bikes in these neighborhoods,” said SRTS Coordinator Christopher Gonda.
