Drive Carefully During Deer Mating Season

Residents are reminded to drive carefully as daylight hours shorten and the risk of deer collisions increases.

White-tailed deer are involved in thousands of motor vehicle collisions every year. Most of those collisions occur during peak deer mating season, which in New Jersey runs from late October through mid-December. Many car commuters drive at times of day when deer are most active, and when lighting conditions may make driving more difficult.

You Can Shape the Future of Passaic County’s Parks, Trails and Recreation Spaces: Open Spaces Survey Now Live

Passaic County, NJ – Passaic County residents have a unique opportunity to play a direct role in shaping the future of the County’s parks, trails, recreation areas and historic sites by completing the Open Spaces Survey, open now through Monday, November 17, 2025. 

 

The survey takes less than five minutes to complete, but the impact will last for decades. Resident input will guide how the County invests in open spaces, ensuring that projects reflect the community’s values, priorities and vision for a healthier, more connected future. 

 

“Every voice matters in this process,” said Passaic County Commissioner Director Pat Lepore. “The decisions we make today will determine what our parks and open spaces look like for generations to come. By taking just a few minutes to complete this survey, residents can make a meaningful difference in the quality of life across Passaic County.” 

 

Survey responses will directly inform the County’s Open Space and Recreation Plan, a roadmap that guides improvements, preservation and new initiatives. From playgrounds and athletic fields to trails and cultural sites, public input ensures that investments meet real community needs. 

 

Residents are encouraged to share their vision and help shape the future by completing the survey online at:

Early Voting Started On Saturday, October 25. VOTE by Election Day, November 4. 

In person early voting for the New Jersey 2025 general election started on Saturday, October 25, and continues through Sunday, November 2. 

Election Day is Tuesday, November 4.

New Jersey voters can cast their ballots in three ways:
  • In person on Election Day, November 4 at their designated polling place.
  • Early voting in person from Saturday, October 25 through Sunday, November 2, in one of the early voting polling sites in their county of residence.
  • By mail if they request a mail-in ballot from their county clerk at least 7 days before Election Day, and submit their ballot by one of the legally approved means: 
    • United States Mail (postal service) if postmarked no later than 8PM on Election Day and received no later than 6 days following Election Day.
    • Drop the completed mail-in ballot in a secure ballot drop box for their county of residence; ballot must be placed by 8PM on Election Day.
    • Deliver the completed mail-in ballot in person to their county Board of Elections.

The NJ Division of Elections has printable flyers in covering the three ways to vote.

There's still time for your nonprofit to encourage voting in a number of nonpartisan ways:

  • See the New Jersey Division of Elections’ Voter Information Portal for official information about how to vote.
  • Consider giving your staff paid time off to vote. Providing employees paid time off to vote can help to remove some of the barriers to voting that people may face. You may also encourage your staff to serve as official poll workers, volunteer translators or other nonpartisan activities.
  • Share nonpartisan sources of candidate information, such as the League of Women Voters’ vote411.org, NJ Decides from NJSpotlight News, WHYY, and other nonpartisan local news sources and organizations.
  • View our nonpartisan voter engagement guide for additional details about staying nonpartisan.

 

There’s too much at stake to be on the sidelines.  
Be sure to VOTE by November 4.
