SJ CONNECTS– 6 NEW Shuttle Services for South Jersey

The South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA), with assistance from Cross County Connection, have been working on the expansion of South Jersey’s public transit system. Five new bus services were unveiled in June as the SJ Connects shuttle program. A sixth route in Burington County just launched in September.
Backed by a NJ TRANSIT $5 million regional investment, the initiative includes a fleet of all-new ADA-compliant 20-passenger shuttle buses while also funding infrastructure improvements and driver salaries over the next 18 to 24 months. While the pilot program operates, partners will collect ridership data, evaluate service needs, and continue exploring long-term opportunities to expand the regional mobility service throughout South Jersey.
“For too many South Jersey families, transportation challenges limit access to opportunity,” said Governor Mikie Sherrill. “SJ Connects is an important step toward changing that reality by creating stronger connections between communities and the jobs, schools, healthcare providers, and services that help residents succeed. 
This free service reflects our administration’s commitment to ensuring South Jersey continues to receive the investment and attention it deserves.”
