Campaigns & Programs
Click it or Ticket
The Palisades Interstate Parkway Police Department participates in the regular “Click-It or Ticket “campaigns. The next campaign is from May 19th to June 1st. Motorists are required to wear their seat-belts under 39:3-76.2 (rear seat passengers under 39:3-76.2F(C)) at all times. The “Click-It or Ticket” campaign simply means that in addition to officers enforcing these laws on regular patrol, there will be additional concentrated efforts underway to educate the public.
TRANSCOM
TRANSCOM improves the mobility and safety of the traveling public by supporting its member agencies through inter-agency communication and the enhanced utilization of their existing traffic and transportation management systems. Further, as additional systems become available, TRANSCOM is a forum for ensuring that they are implemented in a coordinated manner.
As a coalition of transportation and public safety agencies, TRANSCOM serves as a focus for bringing even greater funding into the region to improve regional traffic and transportation management.

U-Drive, U-Text, U-Pay Campaign
Although the Palisades Interstate Parkway Police Department issues summonses for this violation routinely, we are proud to participate in this campaign’s purpose. U-Drive, U-Text, U-Pay focuses on violations of the New Jersey Cell Phone Statute 39:4-97.3. A common misconception is that this statute only applies to talking on the cell phone when placed to the ear however in New Jersey, any use of the cell phone with your hands is illegal. This includes answering, texting, using as a GPS, or any other function where the hands are removed from the vehicle’s operation to use the phone.
