In October, 2006, Celebrate NJ, a New Jersey non-profi t organization,accepted the request of the New Jersey History Advocates to champion
a seamless, systematic, statewide wayfinding system. Following a Wayfinding Symposium that brought 100 representatives of statewide organizations together, and working closely with NJ DOT, Celebrate NJ began the process of coordinating four task teams (Tourist Oriented Destination Signs (TODS), Pilot Project, Funding, Public Relations) and funding raising for and hiring a team of Wayfinding experts: John Bosio (MERJE Wayfinding designer), Lance Wyman (an internationally recognized Wayfinding iconographer), and Wansoo Im (an extraordinary GPS mapping expert). The New Jersey Wayfinding Master Plan (available in PDF format at www.CelebrateNJ.org) addresses the following: Wayfinding, Icons and zones, Partnering opportunities, NJPOI.com, Pilot Projects, Budget Guidelines, Funding and Adoption of the plan.
