SUMMARY:Bridging the Gap Between Researchers & Government Agencies
DESCRIPTION:Local governments of all sizes are facing increasing threats to their fiscal and economic health\, community well-being\, and environmental resources. These agencies often will work with researchers to determine how best to address these challenges. \nThis panel\, hosted by the New Jersey State Policy Lab\, will include presentations from Elizabeth Bell\, Assistant Professor at the University of Texas LBJ School of Public Affairs\, and Aaron Deslatte\, P.D.\, Associate Professor at the Indiana University O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Each will discuss their experiences handling researcher-practitioner partnerships with federal\, state\, and local agencies and provide recommendations for better tailoring research incentives in universities with research needs in communities. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:The Street Project Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:“The Street Project” uncovers the truth about a troubling trend: more and more people walking and bicycling are being seriously injured or killed on American roads. The filmmakers engage experts including street historian Peter Norton\, city planner Jeff Speck\, and urban design expert Mikael Colville-Andersen whose interviews are interwoven with the stories of local champions working to make their communities safer. “The Street Project” is a film that takes viewers on a global journey to discover a better way of doing things. \n\n\n\n\nPlease join us for a film screening and discussion on Tuesday\, February 6\, 2024\, from 4 to 6 pm. There will be a moderated discussion with panelists and participants following the screening. Registration is free\, but seats are limited. Light refreshments will be served. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the American Planning Association – New Jersey Chapter (APA-NJ) and the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy with support from the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) through the New Jersey Bicycle and Pedestrian Resource Center at the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center. \nRSVP HERE

SUMMARY:The New Jersey Safety and Health Outcome (NJ-SHO) Data Warehouse
DESCRIPTION:Allison E. Curry\, PhD\, MPH is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and a Senior Scientist and Director of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). She is an injury epidemiologist by training and her research focuses on the prevention of motor vehicle crashes and support of safe transport across the lifespan. \nDr. Curry and her team have spent the last decade developing the New Jersey Safety and Health Outcomes (NJ-SHO) Data Warehouse—a statewide data source of traffic safety and health data that includes 24 million NJ residents—and have published nearly 50 research papers using these data. They are now working to establish the NJ-SHO Center for Integrated Data to ensure important safety data is available to support traffic safety efforts around the state. Dr. Curry is also the principal investigator of a large research program to support driving safety for teens with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder\, their families\, and groups that support them during the learning-to-drive process.

SUMMARY:Defending Democracy: The Fight for a Floor Beneath Which No Person Should Fall
DESCRIPTION:The Gov. James J. Florio Visiting Scholar in Public Policy Lecture\nIn partnership with the offices of Florio\, Perrucci\, Steinhardt\, & Fader LLC\, in 2015 the Bloustein School recognized Gov. Florio’s public service career through the endowment of a high-level visiting scholar. The annual Governor James J. Florio Distinguished Visiting Scholar of Public Policy will be a former senior government official or policy practitioner\, focusing on an issue that was central to his legislative and gubernatorial career. The themes of the lecture include public service\, foreign policy\, the environment\, transportation and mass transit\, education\, welfare reform\, health care\, and gun control. \nCongresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman\nU.S. House of Representatives (D-NJ 12th District); House Appropriations Committee \nThe first Black woman to represent New Jersey in Congress\, Bonnie Watson Coleman’s work in the House centers on her belief that\, in the United States\, there should exist a floor below which we should never allow any child\, any family\, any person to fall. Knowing that millions struggle every day just to make ends meet from the first to the last of the month\, her legislative work seeks to bridge the gap for these Americans\, making sure that the richest nation in the world doesn’t allow millions to live below the poverty line; doesn’t allow vulnerable groups to suffer the fallout of environmental violations; doesn’t allow profit margins to define the standards or the motivations for incarceration; and doesn’t allow bias to push everyday needs like car insurance out of reach for working families. \nWatson Coleman’s work in Congress continues a family legacy of public service\, fighting for women\, economically and socially disadvantaged populations\, and other vulnerable groups in our society. Prior to her election as a Representative for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District\, Watson Coleman served eight consecutive terms in the New Jersey General Assembly and shattered racial and gender barriers to become the first Black woman to serve as Majority Leader\, and as the Chair of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee. During her time as Majority Leader\, Watson Coleman convened a year- long series of public hearings on reforms to prisoner re-entry programs while shepherding legislation through the Assembly that the New York Times called “a model for the rest of the nation\,” on prisoner rehabilitation and release. \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Leveraging Data-Driven Methods and Time-of-Use Data to Evaluate Urban Decarbonization Policies and Streamline Building Energy Audits
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Abigail Andrews\, Post-Doctoral Associate and NJ BPU Energy Fellow in Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy’s Center for Urban Policy Research.  \nIdentifying opportunities to minimize energy use and carbon emissions of buildings is important for urban decarbonization. However\, doing so often necessitates a capital-intensie building energy audit that requires time-intensive on-site inspections. As municipalities across the United States mandate various urban decarbonization policies (e.g.\, benchmarking\, audits\, and building performance standards) there is a growing need for building owners to audit buildings efficiently and at a low cost. Emerging data streams (e.g.\, automated meter infrastructure) allow the evaluation of real time energy use and carbon emissions data. This data not only provides a deeper understanding into building operations but also may provide audit insights and decarbonization opportunities. This seminar will discuss the potential of integrating time-of-use data in urban decarbonization policy and the development of an integrated physics-based model and data-classification method to identify potential inefficiencies in a building using electric meter data. Time-of-use energy data paired with machine learning may streamline urban decarbonization policy by improving the effectiveness and scalability of evaluation processes. \nDr. Andrews received her PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Stanford University at the Urban Informatics Lab. She also holds a MS in Sustainable Design and Construction from Stanford University and a BA in Environmental Policy from Barnard College. Dr. Andrews uses data from building energy policies (e.g.\, benchmarking\, building performance standards\, auditing) to evaluate urban decarbonization potential and to push forward equitable building decarbonization. Currently\, Dr. Andrews is interested in how municipalities can encourage the design and construction of Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings. \nFor questions Dr. David Coit (coit@soe.rutgers.edu)\, Dr. Aziz Ezzat (aziz.ezzat@rutgers.edu) or Dr. Elin Wicks (elm52@soe.rutgers.edu)
