Gov. Philip D. Murphy is expected to outline his final priorities in his seventh State of the State address, emphasizing the need to address the alarming rise in traffic fatalities in New Jersey.
Traffic fatalities in New Jersey have spiked by about 14 percent recently, contrasting with a national trend of declining fatalities.
The rise in fatalities coincided with a significant reduction in traffic enforcement by State Police, which began after a critical report on their performance.
The Attorney General has initiated a criminal investigation into the slowdown in traffic enforcement, assigning a prominent former federal prosecutor to lead the inquiry.
