Hudson County Complete Streets

What Hudson County Complete Streets does

Hudson County Complete Streets (d/b/a HudCoStreets) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit grassroots advocacy organization founded in 2021 and headquartered in Jersey City, NJ. Its mission is to advance safe streets, active-transportation infrastructure, and public transit access across Hudson County, NJ municipalities including Hoboken, Jersey City, Weehawken, North Bergen, Bayonne, Secaucus, Union City, West New York, Guttenberg, Harrison, and Kearny. The organization runs a portfolio of issue-specific campaigns — A Better PATH (5-minute off-peak PATH frequency and PATH-to-Newark-Airport extension), Better Light Rail, Turnpike Trap (opposing a $10.7 billion highway expansion), #FixJFKBlvd, #Fix139, 14th St. Viaduct, and Boulevard East — alongside programmatic work on Vision Zero, the North Jersey Transit Forum, and recurring community rides. Coalition partners include Bike JC, Bike Hoboken, WeeBiken, SafeStreets JC, Tri-State Transportation Campaign, NJ Bike & Walk Coalition, Vision Zero NJ Alliance, Families for Safe Streets, and the Turnpike Trap coalition.

HCCS operates without proprietary technology. Its technical footprint consists of public-facing data resources (a crash data visualization at crashes.hudcostreets.org, a PATH ridership dashboard at path.hudcostreets.org, Citi Bike visual data, and NJ fatal traffic statistics), a Buttondown-hosted monthly newsletter, and a Squarespace-managed website with multi-platform social profiles (Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Bluesky, Vimeo, Linktree). Community organizing is delivered through 40+ public events per year, candidate forums, rallies, and coalition-led advocacy targeting the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, NJ TRANSIT, NJDOT, NJTA, and Hudson County government. Policy outcomes through 2025 include securing the first county-roadway bike lane in 10+ years, a seat on the Hudson County Vision Zero Action Plan task force, Port Authority commitments to PATH service improvements, and helping stop the proposed $10.7 billion I-78 Turnpike expansion in favor of the 'One Bridge Solution.'

The business model is donation-based. Revenue consists of small-dollar individual donations, membership contributions, sponsorship, and grants. In 2025, a year-end campaign with a $10,000 matching gift from founding donors raised $24,188 from 73 donors, exceeding the $20,000 goal. The only disclosed grant is a March 2023 Transformative Climate Communities grant from Rutgers University that funded six months of programming, materials, video production, and a cargo ebike; the dollar value was not disclosed. The organization has historically been all-volunteer, but in February 2025 launched its first Executive Director search, indicating a transition toward a professionally staffed operating model.
