NJ TRANSIT BUSES
NJ Transit offers lift-equipped buses on both local and transit commuter routes. Not all local bus trips are accessible. Check your NJ Transit timetable for bus trips marled with a “W” to determine which trips are available for people who require the use of lifts.

For commuter routes, there are a limited number of buses available with wheelchair or disabled person accessibility and they run on designated routes. Some run on assigned trips and are indicated in the timetable with a “W”.

Access Link-NJ Transit
Access Link is available to disabled clients who live within ¾ of a mile of a bus route but are unable to use the public transportation. This service is available the same hours as the public bus system. Call 1-800-955-2321 and ask for an assessment.

Senior citizens and disabled residents can ride on most of the state’s buses for a reduced fare during off peak hours. The reduced fare is one—half the regular one way fare, rounded down to the nearest five cents.
