Transportation Options in New Jersey

Transportation Systems and Resources in our State

Transportation options in New Jersey vary greatly depending on where you reside. This page provides information on New Jersey’s transportation systems.

Transportation Management Associations (TMA)

TMAs are non-profit, public-private partnerships that provide transit, community shuttles, van/carpool programs, and walking/biking options. Eight TMAs cover all 21 counties in New Jersey. TMAs are an excellent resource for transportation information and services. Find the TMA serving your county.

Transportation for Special Populations

NJ Transit Access Link (ADA Paratransit)

Access Link provides transportation for those with disabilities. This shared-ride service has regularly scheduled local route services and fares. While riders generally need to be able to leave their house and board the bus on their own, drivers may assist individuals in walking from the house to the bus. This is done on a case-by-case basis if riders ask for an accommodation when scheduling. To make a reservation, call 973-491-4224, option 2, or visit accesslink.njtransit.com.
 

County Transportation for Special Populations

Many counties offer low- or no-cost transportation to special populations such as seniors, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and low-income individuals. Often, these transportation options require riders to schedule their rides in advance.

New Jersey Travel Independence Program (NJTIP) @ Rutgers

The New Jersey Travel Independence Program (NJTIP) was created to increase the independence and self-sufficiency of people with disabilities, older adults, and others by empowering them to use the public transit system safely and independently. One-on-one travel instruction pairs the customer with a travel instructor who teaches them safe, independent travel skills and various modes of public transportation. This program is also available to customers (except those who are visually impaired) who have applied to Access Link and live in one of the following counties: Bergen, Camden, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, and Union. The only cost to customers during training is paying their fares. Each graduate receives a free one-month bus pass. Learn more about this service by visiting their website. You may contact the service by calling phone at 848-932-4499.
