NJ Transit has plans to make bus travel easier and more equitable for riders. More funding and better traffic policies can help achieve this.
We seek to bring greater prosperity, affordable housing, and better transportation to communities across New Jersey. A well-functioning, modern transit system unites these objectives. Along with the campaign for new public transit tunnels under the Hudson River, RPA is convening groups from across New Jersey’s advocacy spectrum to support legislative funding initiatives and to support transformation of NJ Transit into a modern, effective transit agency for the state’s one million and growing daily transit riders.
