The cones were set, the plows were down, and the competition was on at the 2026 SJTA Operations Annual Snow Equipment Road-E-O!

Eleven drivers from East, Central, and West Maintenance, Crafts, Fleet, and Atlantic City International Airport took on a 13-event course designed to test their snow-equipment skills.

And this was no simple drive around the yard.

Competitors faced Offset Lanes, Tennis Ball Alley, Diminishing Clearance, the Serpentine, Alley Dock, Parked Vehicles, Measured Right Turn, Barrel Push, and plenty more. Every cone, barrel, turn, stop, and maneuver tested the precision and control our operators rely on when winter weather arrives.

The Road-E-O is serious training, but it is also one of those events that brings employees together. Coworkers from across the SJTA came out to support the drivers, cheer them on, and enjoy a little friendly competition along the way.

And congratulations to Sean McBride (East Maintenance) who scored 2,748 out of 3,600 points and is the 2026 Road-E-O Champion.

At the SJTA, safety isn't just something we promote. It's something we practice.

This week, South Jersey Transportation Authority employees participated in the National Safety Council's Defensive Driving Course, reinforcing our commitment to making South Jersey's roadways safer for everyone.

Whether we're behind the wheel, maintaining the Atlantic City Expressway, or serving the traveling public, safety is a responsibility we all share.

We regularly remind motorists to stay alert, avoid distractions, and make smart decisions behind the wheel. And we believe in practicing what we preach.

Because roadway safety starts with each of us, and even the most experienced drivers can benefit from a refresher.

Safety isn't just part of our message. It's part of our culture.

Thank you to South Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (SJTPO) instructors Wayne Shelton and Robert Clarke for sharing their wealth of knowledge.

Today is National Do Not Disturb While Driving Day!

Your safety on the road starts with a simple click.

Did you know that just a quick two second glance at your phone can double your risk of a crash? Distracted driving takes thousands of lives each year, but the solution is already right in your pocket.

Make our roads safer for everyone by enabling your phones built in safety feature today: Turning on “Driving Focus” in your settings, or for Android users, turning on “Driving Mode” in your settings.

No text, call, or notification is worth a life. Protect yourself, your passengers, and others on the road by keeping your eyes on your drive and your hands on your wheel.

Let's make safety a habit. Share this post, tag a friend who needs the reminder, and commit to driving distraction-free!

🚗 Major Investment for the Atlantic City Expressway!

The South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) just broke ground on a massive $400+ million, 4-phase project to widen a 12.6-mile stretch of the Atlantic City Expressway from Route 42 to Interchange 31.

What to expect:
• 🛣️ Three continuous lanes in each direction to boost capacity and ease congestion.
• 🛡️ Enhanced safety & reliability for commuters, residents, and visitors traveling between Philly and the shore.
• 🌉 Critical infrastructure updates, including mainline bridge and interchange improvements (like the Sicklerville Road area).
• 🚦 Traffic management: Two lanes will remain open in each direction during major construction phases to keep traffic moving.

This vital upgrade will support tourism, commerce, and jobs across South Jersey for decades to come!
