SENIOR AND ACCESSIBLE TRANSIT SERVICES
Most counties in southern NJ have community senior and accessible transportation services that provide mobility to elderly adults and persons with disabilities. These services connect passengers to employment, medical centers, shopping areas, social services, recreational facilities and other locations. The operating policies vary for each senior and accessible bus service so it is important that you carefully review this information. All of the services charge a small fare to ride and require passengers make reservations by contacting the transportation provider. Detailed information about operating hours and policies can be found by clicking to the right on the county in which you wish to travel. All of the Senior and accessible Services are ADA accessible and can accommodate wheelchairs. For information on these senior and accessible services, click on the county in which you wish to travel.
