🚸🛑 Great turnout at the Crossing Guard Training in North Bergen Township! With students heading back to school, it’s an important time to make sure our crossing guards are prepared to help keep kids, families, and all pedestrians safe.

Funded by the NJ Division of Highway Traffic Safety, the Crossing Guard Training and Resources program equips crossing guards with the knowledge and tools they need to safely serve their communities.

As the new school year begins, remember to slow down, stay alert, and watch for crossing guards and students in school zones. 🎒🏫

🎨 Are the colors fading from Peshawar’s public transportation?

Truck art has long been a defining feature of public transportation in Peshawar, Pakistan—transforming buses and vehicles into vibrant expressions of local art, culture, and identity. But as the city modernizes its transit system, many of these colorful buses are disappearing from the streets.

In Pakistan and across the global Pakistani diaspora, truck art has become an internationally recognized symbol of national identity. Yet even as truck art-inspired artwork and décor grow in popularity, the tradition itself faces an uncertain future.

In a new video and paper, Bloustein School PhD student Shahan Ahmed explores how the commodification of truck art and the modernization of Peshawar’s transit system are reshaping this distinctive cultural tradition.
