SAFE NJ Campaign:

NJ TRANSIT unveiled a new customer awareness campaign “SAFE NJ” as customers begin to return to the transit system. The “SAFE NJ” campaign will focus on high visibility signage throughout the system to maintain awareness of recommended best practices that ensure the healthiest and safest transit system for all.

The new “SAFE NJ” series reinforces the requirement to wear face coverings, be cognizant of distancing and to help keep stations and vehicles free of discarded Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as used face coverings and gloves. Click here to learn more.

Reduced Fare Program:

Senior citizens (62 years of age* and older) and people with disabilities can save one-half or more of the regular one-way fare through NJ Transit’s Reduced Fare Program. Passengers with disabilities must show their valid NJ Transit Reduced Fare ID or Medicare Card to the bus operator, light rail vehicle operator, or train conductor while senior citizens can present any valid form of ID.
