Community Transportation

Community Transportation

Community Transportation services provide flexible transportation options. Community Transportation providers use smaller lift-equipped vans and minibuses and may operate route deviation, curb to curb, door to door, or on an advance reservation basis. Services may also feed into existing mass transit bus stops, train or light rail stations. Although there are some services open to the general public, others have eligibility requirements and may be restricted to senior citizens, people with disabilities, or social services clients.

All NJ counties provide paratransit services. Municipalities and non-profit agencies may also offer transportation services. The list below is organized by county.
