Keep Middlesex Moving Announces Retirement Of Executive Director

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ - Bill Neary, Executive Director of Keep Middlesex Moving (KMM), will be retiring soon, the organization announced.

Neary has been associated with KMM for over 18 years. He also served as the Mayor of East Brunswick for 12 years.

Keep Middlesex Moving is Middlesex County’s non-profit transportation management association.

They work with businesses, commuters, elected officials, community groups and other partners to implement programs that reduce congestion, increase safety, and improve air quality.

Under Neary’s leadership, KMM grew and evolved from focusing on primarily ridesharing and traffic mitigation to an organization at the forefront of modern transportation inclusive of pedestrian safety, electric and autonomous vehicles, accessible mass transit, and micro transit, according to Middlesex County Commissioner Director Ronald Rios.

“Mr. Neary always understood the commuting needs of Middlesex County residents whether it’s getting to the doctor’s office or to work – safety and accessibility was and is prioritized,” Rios said.

“Additionally, during Mr. Neary’s tenure, he invested heavily in increasing and expanding direct communication to residents through leveraging social media channels like YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook as well as creating KMM’s own podcast to share new information and news about transit to leveraging local police communications tools to spread important notices broadly.”

As Neary retires, Middlesex County’s Department of Transportation will work closely with the team at KMM to welcome a new management.

Neary has also been an active participant in the community through organizations such as Salvation Army; promoting STEM education from Route 1 to Princeton; Healthier Middlesex, serving as a board member; and as the Chairman of the Board of the Regional Chamber of Commerce from 2017 to 2022.
